Pronouns, possessives, and agreement

Form, Structure, and Sense · Stage 1

Recognize the pattern

Check whether the sentence needs possession or a contraction.

Try it before reading the solution

Choose the form: “The company changed (its/it’s) policy.”

This teaching example is original and is not an official SAT question.

Reasoning

The policy belongs to the company, so the possessive “its” is correct.

Answer

its

Ready for adaptive practice

Practice questions remain in English, as on the SAT.
