Answer:

The prince thinks his crown is the best.

He breath fire right out of his mouth.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The sentence talks about how a prince-- a son of a monarch, thinks his crown is the best. Prince = boy, therefore, the correct pronoun is his.

2. The sentence talks about how a man breaths fire out of his own mouth, not your mouth.

Final answer:

In the sentences given, the pronouns 'their' and 'your' have been incorrectly used. The corrected sentences should read: 'The prince thinks his crown is the best.' and 'He breathes fire right out of his mouth.' The term 'his' is a possessive pronoun that correctly indicates ownership.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences provided in your question contain pronoun errors that need to be corrected. The pronouns should align with their correct references for the sentences to make grammatical sense. Understanding the correct usage of subject personal pronouns and object personal pronouns can help address these errors.

  1. The prince thinks their crown is the best. - Corrected sentence: The prince thinks his crown is the best.
  2. He breathes fire right out of your mouth. - Corrected sentence: He breathes fire right out of his mouth.

In the corrected sentences, 'his' is used as a possessive pronoun to show ownership. The replacements are in agreement with the grammatical gender (masculine) and grammatical number (singular) of the noun they replace ('prince'). These corrections ensure the sentences are syntactically sound according to English pronoun case rules.
