    Why подарил? Just дал.

    Я дал кусок мяса своей собаке.
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    I overlooked the GIVE in my conjugation book and wrote GIVE A PRESENT instead. Sorry.

    I see my dog.

    Я вижу мою собаку.

    мою - possessive accusative feminine pronoun

    вижу - present imperfective

    собаку - feminine accusative



    My dog sees me.

    Моя собака видит меня.

    моя - Nominative possessive pronoun.

    меня - accusative feminine pronoun.

    Cпасибо!

    I gave a piece of meat to my dog.

    Я дал мяса своей соваке.

    piece - accusative
    meat - genitive
    dog - dative (indirect object)

    Моя сестра имеет кошку.
    Correct. However I advise you to use construction "У кого-то (genitive) есть кто-то (nominative)" when you speak about animate objects, because the verb "иметь" sounds ambiguous in such situations.

    Examples:
    У моей сестры есть кошка.
    У меня есть собака.
    У неё есть дети.
    У него есть сестра.
    У моего брата есть знакомый, который работает в посольстве.

    Я дал мяса своей соваке.
    Я дал кусок (or кусочек) мяса своей собаке.

    However the sentence "Я дал мяса своей собаке" is correct too, if the word "piece" is not implied.

    My dog is afraid of this little beast.

    Моя собака испуганный этого маленького животноя.

    Моя - nominative possessive

    собака - nominative feminine

    испуганный - predicate adjective

    этого - demonstrative genitive neuter

    маленького - genitive neuter adjective

    животноя - genitive neuter

    Cпасибо!

    испуганный - this is incorrect, should be испугалась but even more correct боится(present tense)
    животноя - this is incorrect, should be животного
    PS: a beast is чудовище not животное
    PPS: if it's a male dog and you'd want to specify it then you could say "мой пёс"

    Чудовище means ‘a monster’. A beast is not always a monster.

    Beast (from wiktionary)

    1. Any animal other than a human; usually only applied to land vertebrates, especially large or dangerous four-footed ones.
    — живо́тное, зверь.

    2. (more specific) A domestic animal, especially a bovine farm animal.
    — живо́тное, скоти́на.

    3. A person who behaves in a violent, antisocial or uncivilized manner.
    — живо́тное, зверь, скоти́на, тварь, чудо́вище.
    . . .
    Please correct my English

    хотите поиграть в слова ?
    little beast это устойчивое выражение, которое не всегда можно перевести правильно на русский язык, довольно часто little beast используется в переносном смысле, потому что это своего рода оксюморон
    Little beast может обозначать например мощную машину, мотоцикл и т.д. в данном случае "маленькое чудовище" или может быть "маленький зверь" или "маленький монстр" будет звучать более близко к смыслу английского выражения, чем "маленькое животное"

    Sir hddscan, can you give me reference how you arrived at животного assuming it is ? Is it genitive? My grammar book says that if it end in -e-, you remove it and replace it with -я- unless it is irregular which I do not know. Thank you for the corrections.

    There is a bunch of nouns in Russian which were formerly adjectives, and they are declined like adjectives.
    E.g. животное, мороженое, столовая, полицейский etc.
    Please correct my English

    So we get "маленькое чудовище" or "мелкая тварь" as possible options.

    The cat loves my sister only.

    Кошка любит мою сестру единственную.

    мою - feminine accusative possessive

    сестру - feminine accusative

    Спасибо!
