English Resource Description
This worksheet is a resource for English teaching, focusing on the commonly confused words 'its' and 'it's'. The exercise is straightforward: students must decide whether to use 'its'—the possessive form of 'it' indicating ownership—or 'it's', which is a contraction for 'it is' or 'it has', to correctly complete the sentences provided. For example, in sentence 1, 'The dog wagged ______ tail', the correct word to fill in the blank is 'its', to show possession of the tail by the dog. On the other hand, sentence 2, '______ half past ten already', requires 'it's' to correctly convey the meaning 'it is half past ten already'.
The worksheet includes various sentences that require the student to apply their understanding of the difference between 'its' and 'it's'. Sentences range from everyday scenarios, like an animal moving a part of its body, to more abstract concepts, such as time passing or weather predictions. This exercise helps to reinforce the correct usage of these two words, which, despite being pronounced the same, have distinct grammatical functions within a sentence. By completing this worksheet, students will improve their grammar skills and their ability to distinguish between these easily confused words.
