Which sentence uses a contraction or possessive form incorrectly? A. I'm not sure who's purse is on that chair. B. The blue house on the corner is theirs. C. Your cousin is on my softball team. D. Do you know whether they're lost? I think it's A.

their's :P

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Wouldn't that be their-is? I think it is A because it turns it into who-is instead of whos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not who-is, its who's as a possessive

OpenStudy (keeli_grace):

Oh, alright then. B :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):
