Question

It’s a dog wagging its tail, or It's a dog wagging it's tail?

Answer 1

It would be the first choice. "It's" is a contraction, which would make the sentence "the dog is wagging it is tail". Its is possessive.

Answer 2

But isn't It's possessive?? @HoneyLemon

Answer 3

Or do you only use a comma when its an object other than "it"?

Answer 4

The dog's tail would be possessive but if it were "it" it would just be its? Idk how this is confusing me so much >.<

Answer 5

It's can also mean "it is". In this case it's "It is a dog wagging its tail." The second "its" is not specific enough to be a possession.

Answer 6

So is it's never used for possession?

Answer 7

@memestars1000 is right.

Answer 8

If the sentence is talking about someone specific like Thatonegirl_, it would have an apostrophe because it is using the name of a person. "Thatonegirl_'s" while the dog is just a dog so it would not be specific enough.

Answer 9

Okay thanks for clearing that up! xD

Answer 10
