Final answer:
The correct sentence is 'A car is no good without its wheels.' It uses the possessive 'its' to denote ownership of the wheels by the car, while 'it's' is a contraction for 'it is' or 'it has' and does not belong in this context.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct sentence is: A car is no good without its wheels. This sentence uses the possessive pronoun 'its' to indicate that the wheels belong to the car. 'It's' is a contraction for 'it is' or 'it has', which is not the correct form in this context since we are not trying to say 'it is wheels' or 'it has wheels'. Understanding the difference between 'its' and 'it's' is crucial as these are commonly confused words in English grammar.
When checking for correct usage, remember these two questions:
- Am I sure this is the right word to express my idea?
- To the best of my knowledge, did I spell it correctly?
Now let's review a few more sentences to identify the correct form of the words:
- The show always has a depressing effect on me.
- Its hard to find small apartments for rent in this neighborhood.
- Neither the sword nor the pen is most mighty in this situation.
- I'm going to watch the game at their house.
