Sarnie Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Can't believe we're taking english lessons from Val Quote
Guest prescience Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Andy i hate to give you English lessons (especially from a foreigner... ) but "its" is is a possessive adjective for the 3rd person neutral (it) in that phrase what is written was supposed to mean IT IS tesco, not tescos. It's is the shortening of IT IS back to school Depending on the context 'its' can also be a possessive pronoun; I've always referred to it as 3rd person neuter rather than neutral - and you have a repeated 'is' in your sentence Quote
AndyC Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Misplaced childhood - should have been reading books! I was mate, just the wrong sort Quote

Not in this specific case though And yes i repeated "is" twice for some reason Quote

In this case you've got Tesco (noun) just next to it! good try, but no success Quote

It's not as if I don't usually use the correct spelling (check my posts if you don't believe me) Quote

All I am saying is that 'its' can be a possessive pronoun as well as a possessive adjective EDIT -> Just saw your OTHER post above mate we are in agreement Quote
