Correct Answer: to yours house


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

Explanation: The error in the phrase "yours house" stems from a misunderstanding of possessive pronouns. "Yours" is a possessive pronoun, but it is used independently, not to modify a noun directly. The correct form to indicate possession of the house is "your".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: I will come to your house in the evening to play chess.
