Re: The PG Guide to English - All kinda ques. on VA! - 03-11-2009, 10:11 PM

What is the difference between its and it's?

"Its" is a possessive pronoun, meaning "belonging to it." The confusion arises because if you don't substitute the pronoun "it" for the noun, an apostrophe is used. For example, the bone belonging to the dog is "the dog's bone." The eraser on the pencil is "the pencil's eraser." Both examples use an apostrophe plus an "s" in order to attribute ownership.
However, when a noun is changed to a pronoun, an apostrophe is no longer used. Instead of "a rabbit's cage," you might say "its cage." Instead of "the house's window," you would say "its window." This tends to confuse people who are used to apostrophes denoting possessives. Other examples of the possessive "its" could include the dog burying its bone in its backyard and the table which has its leg broken off and its tablecloth in need of ironing.
"It's" is a contraction. A contraction is when a new word is formed from two or more separate words. In English, an apostrophe is used to acknowledge the missing letters. "Don't" is a contraction of "do not," and "shouldn't" is a contraction of "should not." "It's" is short for "it is," or less frequently, for "it has."
Any time "it's" includes an apostrophe, the writer should be able to substitute "it is" or "it has" and have the sentence still make sense. "It's going to be my birthday tomorrow," is correct because it can be changed to "It is going to be my birthday tomorrow." "It's been two hours since I've eaten," can be verified since changing it to "It has been two hours since I've eaten," is still correct.

Identify the incorrect senetences :-

Plz post the justifications too

1. In contrast to most Greek sites, Olympia is lush and green, amidst groves of trees.
2. Here was a great Sanctuary of Zeus, the Altis, and the setting for the Olympic Games.
3. For over a thousand years, in peace and war, the Greeks assembled here to celebrate this great festival.
4. Simple crown of wild olive was sufficient to immortalize the victor, his family, and his city.
a)1 b)2&4 c)1&3 d)4 e)None of above

1. Orthodox archaeologists sometimes interpret the temples of the Angkor complex as tombs of megalomaniacal kings.
2. Yet in reality those kings designed and constructed the temples as a form of service to both god and their own subjects.
3. The temples were places not for the worship of the kings but rather for the worship of the gods.
4. Precisely aligned with the stars, the Angkor temples were instruments for assisting humans in its realization of the divine.
a)1 b)2 c)2&3 d)4 e)1&4

Identify the incorrect ones :-

1) Although we all silently talk to ourself a good deal, not all thoughts are verbal.
2) Some of our thoughts are visual or auditory.
3) We visualize people and places every day and often recall tunes from music we like.
4) Thoughts are commonly mixtures of these and other types, often accompanied by the emotions.

a. 1&2&3
b. 2&3
c. 2&3&4
d. 1&4
e. 2&4
