Which sentence uses possessive pronouns correctly? A. The credit for the great food is all their's. B. Those books on the shelf are her's. C. My dog carried it's toy out to the backyard. D. That dress looks like yours.

OpenStudy (yinshy):

i say C @Aveline

OpenStudy (aveline):

Remember: it's is a contraction. It stands for "it is." Does "my dog carried it is toy out to the backyard" make sense?

OpenStudy (yinshy):

if not C then D

OpenStudy (aveline):

Right

OpenStudy (yinshy):

wait

OpenStudy (yinshy):

its B

OpenStudy (yinshy):

Those books on the shelf are her's.

OpenStudy (aveline):

No, it would not be B; it's D. Words like "her, his, their, our..." do not need apostrophes - they are already possessive.
