Which one is right?

Maybe they are greedier, but British dogs tend to eat and drink from bowls. ;-)

I think it amounts to the same thing.

Hello there :-D

I think the answer is Its

am I correct :roll:

thought my level is an upper Intermediate, but i think my English is not pretty good at all & my grammar as well . So , could you please tell me the answer :-(

 

[RonBee]

The word "its" is a possessive. "It's" is a contraction.

 

[poorboy_9]

"It's" is the contraction, "Its" is the possessive; my question is..."does the possessive need an apostrophe such as Its'?........I'm having a Gray moment!!!
p.s.-I've been asked to proofread a book, I may need to re-think my decision to do so!

Personal pronouns that take the form of possessives do not take apostrophes.

theirs
hers
his
its
ours
​

No apostrophes!

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

Simple, isn't it?

Thanks a ton!

This is begining to remind me what I don't know /(remember).
Again, THANKS.

Thanks for great information:-D

I think it's is correct...

 

[Tdol]

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?

But "its" is right.
