Adjective?

edit

I'm not confident enough in my knowledge to make any changes myself, but could someone confirm whether "words such as it and the adjective its" is correct, as I don't think "its" is an adjective (it makes no sense in a sentence such as "the ____ dog", where the blank can be filled by any other adjective).

I believe it's most correctly referred to as the genitive case. I've changed it. 161.11.130.249 (talk) 17:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

It's me!

Would you add an explanation of the use of the pronoun it in sentences as "it's me/you/them" , "who is it?" and similar ones. Is it a case of dummy pronoun? Thank you. pma 08:03, 8 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
