1 answer

The correct word in this context is "its." The sentence should read: "The dog went to the veterinarian for its yearly checkup."

Here's a brief breakdown of the terms you're asking about:

  • "its" is a possessive pronoun, indicating that something belongs to it (in this case, the checkup belongs to the dog).
  • "it's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has."
  • "they're" is a contraction for "they are."
  • "their" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate that something belongs to them.

So, the complete and corrected sentence is: "The dog went to the veterinarian for its yearly checkup."
