Kapan menggunakan “it’s” atau “its”

Terkadang ada kekeliruan dalam penggunaan “its” atau “it’s”

its/ it’s mempunyai dua bentuk.
1. Bentuk pertama mempunyai tanda baca ” ‘ ” / aposthrope
2. Bentuk kedua yaitu singkatan dari it is atau it has

Contoh untuk it’s yang berarti it is : “horay ! it’s time for watching” itu berarti “horay, it is time for watching”
dan, “wow it’s been a long time” yang berarti “wow it has been a long time”

contoh bentuk yang lain dari “its” tidak menggunakan aposthrope, adalah bentuk possesive/kepunyaan, berikut contohnya :
1. bali is famous for its culture

its pada kalimat diatas tidak bisa bila diganti menggunakan “it is” atau “it has”.

Penggunaan “Like”

Ada beberapa macam penggunaan like dalam kalimat bahasa inggris, berikut contohnya

– What does your best friend like?
1. she likes swimming
2. she likes chocolate

– What is your best friend like? (Untuk menunjukkan personality)
1. she is funny

– What does your best friend look like? (untuk menunjukkan penampilan / appearance)
