Which of the following sentences is correct ?

  • A.Its finally a holiday, and my dog is happily wagging its tail.
  • B.Its finally a holiday, and my dog is happily wagging it’s tail.
  • C.It’s finally a holiday, and my dog is happily wagging its tail.
  • D.It’s finally a holiday, and my dog is happily wagging it’s tail.

Answer: C

The correct sentence is It’s finally a holiday, and my dog is happily wagging its tail.

It’s is the short form of it is: ‘It is finally a holiday’. Its, with no apostrophe, is the possessive pronoun, like his or her: the tail belonging to the dog is its tail.

The other sentences each misuse one form: ‘Its finally a holiday’ drops the apostrophe the contraction needs, and ‘wagging it’s tail’ would mean ‘wagging it is tail’. Only one sentence gets both right.
