Question 13 • ECSD GA-GSE English Language Arts 8 (4th 9 Weeks)

Which sentence accurately uses the homophones “it’s” or “its”?

Answer
A
I think the dog left it’s bone under the chair.
B
Its going to be a fantastic birthday party.
C
As far as I know, it’s starting right after school.
D
The phone and it’s charger are in my bag.

Explanation

“It’s” is a contraction meaning “it is” or “it has,” while “its” shows possession. In choice C, “it’s starting” means “it is starting,” so the apostrophe is correct. The other sentences need “its” to show possession or “it’s” to mean “it is.”
