I don`t understand. What do you mean by "write is incorrect"?
Do you mean the spelling is wrong or what?

There are two different words:

Its -possessive adjective [its display- the display of the computer]
Its - possessive pronoun [the dog`s tail is hurt. It is its [the dog`s tail]not the cat`s
It`s =it is [it`s nice, it`s being built]
=it has[it has been a nice day=it`s been a nice day]

the answer is it's because it's means it is, but its means something belong to something.
 
I choosed ( It`s )

I think it`s the correct . And in this sentence ( it`s) the short form ( it is ) . So, choice no.1 is the correct .

But ,( its) is the possessive pronoun . So, I agree with mrsh answer .

I think his/her post referred to:
I like the first one but I am always write the second I don’t know why?
​
That sentence needs some punctuation, but there is clearly nothing wrong with "write" there.

It also needs to get rid of "am". I think that is why the poster thought it should be "right".

hey the answer to this wuestion is .....
it's a lovely town / it is a lovely town

it's = it is which is used to refer something.
its refers to possessive case like -its his
 
It's < it's right cause when we whold like to delete ((is)) we must put (( ' )) like thes
it's or:
thes's = thes is
com's = come is

yeah i'm inglish girl :lol:

"Its" is a possessive pronoun, while "it's" is the contraction of it is. If we use its, there will be no verb therefore it will not be a sentence and the message is obscured. :roll:
 
It is -impersonal "it" folowed by the verb "be".
It`s mine = It is mine.

"Its" is a possessive pronoun or adjective.
I`ve got a new PC. Its display is modern. - possessive adjective.
What about that plug over there? It is its. [of the computer]-possessive pronoun]

Well, that's mostly right. But in the sentence "It is its" the word "its" doesn't have anything to modify.

It is its.:cross:

The dog wags its tail when it is excited. :tick:

Yes, I have the same feeling. Thank you everybody.:up:
