Given sentence:

I liked my new automobile its a shame their taking it away.

Corrected sentence:

  • I liked my new automobile. It's a shame they are taking it away.

OR

  • I liked my new automobile but it's a shame they are taking it away.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • its - it's

This is a very common error made by many and what they don't realize is that both its and it's are different.

its = possessive form/indicating something's relation.

it's = it + is

  • their - they're/they are

Hope it helps. :)
