-it's o its?-

-it's o its?-
Nota d'uso
Its è un aggettivo possessivo che si usa in riferimento a una cosa, un animale o un luogo: I like Sydney for its metropolitan qualities, mi piace Sydney per il suo cosmopolitismo. A volte in italiano non si traduce: The cat has hurt its leg, il gatto si è fatto male alla gamba. It's, invece, è la forma contratta di it is e it has: For what it's worth, here's what I think, per quel che vale, ecco quel che penso; It's been very interesting hearing your news again, è stato molto interessante avere di nuovo sue notizie NOTA D'USO: -'s: apostrofo e caso possessivo-.
