    Why not "Mag eure Kind Tiere?"?

      You're right that there are several ways of translating "your" into German. However, "eure" is the wrong form here. Kind is nominative singular neuter. Therefore, your translation should read: "Mag euer Kind Tiere?". Other correct translations are: "Mag Ihr Kind Tiere?" and "Mag dein Kind Tiere?".

          I understand "eure" and "euer" are different cases, but which is what case? Why does eure not work?

            First time I encountered "euer" here, and in a multiple choice question to boot. Instant heart loss. x_x

              Dein Kind Tieren mögen? Why is this incorrect?
