Question

which sentence accurately uses the homophones \its\ or \its\?

• i think the dog left its bone under the chair.
• its going to be a fantastic birthday party.
• as far as i know, its starting right after school.
• the phone and its charger are in my bag.

Explanation:

Analyze the definitions of "it's" and "its"

"It's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has." "Its" is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership.

Evaluate each option

• "I think the dog left it's bone under the chair." -> Incorrect. Needs possessive "its" (its bone).
• "Its going to be a fantastic birthday party." -> Incorrect. Needs contraction "it's" (it is going).
• "As far as I know, it's starting right after school." -> Correct. Uses contraction "it's" (it is starting).
• "The phone and it's charger are in my bag." -> Incorrect. Needs possessive "its" (its charger).
