✕Common Mistakes
¿Están todas tus cosas?
Use *son* (ser) for permanent ownership, not *están* (estar).
¿Son todas cosas tus?
The possessive must precede the noun; *cosas tus* is incorrect.
¿Son todo tus cosas?
When referring to a plural noun, use *todas* (feminine) not *todo* (masculine singular).

Cultural Tip
In Spanish, ownership is expressed with ser, not estar. Saying *¿Están todas tus cosas?* would sound odd because estar refers to location or temporary states. Also, note that the possessive adjective (tus) always comes before the noun, unlike English where the possessive pronoun can follow (e.g., 'your things').
