In this question, you have to read a sentence from a travel blog and identify the error and supply the correction. 📖

• • The sentence is: I have visited many countries in Europe, but Norway was the most beautiful of them all. I was amazed by it’s stunning scenery and friendly people. 🌍
  • The error in this sentence is the word “it’s”, which is a contraction of “it is” or “it has”. A contraction is a shortened form of two words that are joined by an apostrophe. 🕵️‍♂️
  • However, in this sentence, you need a possessive pronoun, not a contraction. A possessive pronoun is a word that shows ownership or belonging. 🙋‍♀️
  • To show possession for the pronoun “it”, you have to use “its”, without an apostrophe. This word means “belonging to it”. 🐾

Therefore, the correct way to write this sentence is: I have visited many countries in Europe, but Norway was the most beautiful of them all. I was amazed by its stunning scenery and friendly people. ✅
