    Of course, nouns (not pronouns!) do take an apostrophe when taking the possessive form.

    Simple, isn't it?



    Thanks for great information

    Faruk, is this a correct sentence?

    The dog ate from it is food dish and drank from it is water dish.

    one answer was "its is right." I think the word right is the wrong one to use. Correct would be a more appropriate word. Am I correct in that assumption?
