woahahaaaaa yess dapet 100%,, gk sia2 banget pelajari situs ini.. keren bgt (jempol)
Congrats Nizar.. makasi dah mencoba tesnya 🙂
Is there the possessive pronoun of it??? Cause In other grammar book that I read, no possessive pronoun for it
disini ada: grammar.about.com/od/pq/g/posspronterm.htm
tapi saya gak nemu di kamus (dan gak nemu contoh kalimatnya), disebutkan disana its hanya dipertimbangkan sebagai determiner/adjective..jadi saya drop ttg possessive pronoun…makasih banyak infonya Zayn.
Yg no.3 kebalik yah pilihan a dan b nya? Soalnya saya coba jawab a(it’s) , tapi pas dicek jawabannya b(its)? Padahal harusnya kan mmg it’s? Saat saya perhatikan ternyata dr no 1-10(kecuali no.3) semuanya pilihan a(its) dan b(it’s).. Cmiiw.. heheh.. btw, bagus banget websitenya. Saya juga sering latihan dari sini.. mantap dah.
wah iya kebalik Leli…maaf ya 🙁 udah saya perbaiki 🙂 makasih ya sudah dikasih tau, makaih juga feedbacknya. Semoga lancar terus ya belajar bahasa Inggrisnya 🙂
