In Arabic, to say "the big book," both the word for "big" and the word for "book" receive their own "the": الكتاب الكبير ('the book the big'). "My house" is definite in Arabic grammar: the word "my" functions like the word "the" in that it makes it a specific house, so the adjective still has to receive a "the": بيتي الجديد ('house my the new') = my new house.
Is it because the actual question is to "Translate this sentence" that the answer "My new house" is not accepted. Since there is a full stop, there is a need for the verb...
Hello! In Arabic, you have something called "jumla ismiyya" which starts with the noun. Usually, a 'jumla imsiyya" contains a "mubtada" and a "khabar" . The mubtada is the first noun that the sentence starts with, the khabar is the second noun, it usually describes the mubtada. So there is no need here in this sentence for a verb since it's a "jumla ismiyya". About the translation of " My new house" , it would be in Arabic "بيتي الجديد"
