Hello,
Which of the following sentences is the best response for the above question?
A: Where do you think you are going?
B: ...
a) I'm going to finish it here in 15 minutes.
b) I'm thinking whether I should go to school.
c) I'm going to go by bus.
d) It's nothing to do with you.
I would choose d). But it sounds a bit unnatural to me. Is "'s" "has"? I would say "It's got nothing to do with you." I thought if "has" is the man verb, you can't shorten it. Am I wrong?
Best regards,
Nawee |

I think it's just an informal contraction of "it's got" and no one has ever really thought about it the way you just did!
I think people just use it because it sounds OK!
Best wishes,
ian
