As you can see, the usual word order in Hindi is subject-object-verb while it is subject-verb-object in English.
How i am supposted to know this if so i duolingo has only taught letter sounds?
You can mouseover (or click, if on the app) on each word and it will tell you what that word means.
You need to use 'mera' when it is followed by a masculine singular noun, 'mere' when it is followed by a masculine plural noun and 'meri' when followed by a feminine (singular or plural) noun.
घर is masculine so मेरा has been used.
