Question
Which answer is correct?The kitten was washing ________ tail. Its Its' It's Its'sMark for LaterPrevious
Solution
The correct answer is "Its". The sentence should read: "The kitten was washing its tail."
Here's why:
-
"Its" is a possessive pronoun, used to indicate possession or ownership. In this case, the tail belongs to the kitten, so we use "its".
-
"Its'" is not a correct form in English.
-
"It's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has", which doesn't make sense in this context.
-
"Its's" is also not a correct form in English.
