Answer to Question 1

The possessive pronouns its, their, theirs, your, and whose are sometimes confused
with words that sound similar, called homophones.
a) It; It's: The possessive pronoun its means belonging to it or of it. The contraction it's
means it is.
b) Their; There, They're: Their is a possessive pronoun meaning belonging to them, there
identifies a place, and they're is a contraction of they are.
c) Theirs; There's: The pronoun theirs and the contraction there's are pronounced the same
way. However, the contraction there's means there is.
d) Your; You're: The possessive pronoun your means belonging to you. The contraction
you're means you are.

Answer to Question 2

Some nouns are always singular, even though they end in s. For example, aerobics. Use a
singular verb to agree with a singular noun. Some nouns are always plural. For example,
auspices. Use a plural verb to agree with a plural noun.
