What parts of speech is the word it?

Answer 1

It is a pronoun, more precisely a third person singular pronoun. It refers to a thing or an inanimate object. For example: "The governor's house is very large; it is the largest house I ever saw." Or, "Because my computer broke, I will have to take it to the repair shop."

Answer 2

It's a contraction of two words: the pronoun "it" and the verb "is". I might have said "It is a contraction" instead of "It's a contraction" which would have shown that it is really two words.

Answer 3

The word 'it' is a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun. The pronoun 'it' is the third person, neuter form that can be either subjective or objective. Example:

Jim's car is new, it has whitewall tires and red upholstery.

Answer 4

It's a contraction of two words: the pronoun "it" and the verb "is". I might have said "It is a contraction" instead of "It's a contraction" which would have shown that it is really two words.

Answer 5

Its is a possessive pronoun.
