Common mistakes
tes amis est ici.
tes amis sont ici.
The possessive determiner 'tes' modifies the plural noun 'amis', so the verb should be in plural form 'sont'.
tes livre est sur la table.
tes livres sont sur la table.
The possessive determiner 'tes' is used with plural nouns, so 'livre' should be plural 'livres' and the verb should be plural as well.
