Answer 1

Nila,
You could say, "I am trying to find the translation for the following phrase What is its habitat?"
and yes, that is correct.

Ok, this is embarassing!!!! (argggggg) - margaretbl, Dec 9, 2010

Answer 2

I wonder why so many people get this simple rule wrong

it's = it is

its = "su" in Spanish

What is its habitat? ? What is it is habitat? (????)

Ok, I think this one will stay in my head for awhile, thank you! - margaretbl, Dec 9, 2010

We get it wrong so often because we normally use an apostrophe to show possession. The principal's office. This one is an exception. - 0074b507, Dec 9, 2010

Answer 3

Hola Nila, you need the apostrophe - it`s habitat (to show possessive)

You have it backwards. Its shows possession. It's is the contraction of it is. - 0074b507, Dec 9, 2010

I know it's showing possession but I don't think you need the apostrophe---been known to be wrong on multiple ocassions though. - Jason7R, Dec 9, 2010
