I think that 's is used for both, but the 's of nouns refers to possessives and the 's of pronouns refers to contraction of the verb to be (is) or have (has).

Hello there! I would like to know the difference between drama and tragedy?

I got confused a little bit!

you're great guys!

thank you!

I can accept it since "it" is almost used in weather!

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

This "Azamouri was wondering what the 'it' could be referring to, and in the process apparently trying to replace it with an actual noun" is exactly I want, thank you!!!

Thank you again! It's a very [b]nice [/b]explanation!

what about advanced students?

Sometimes, you can't convince some students just like that!!! by saying ok "it" is indeterminate and we can use it as subject when talking about weather!!!!!

we can say "this is language!" otherwise tell me please what's "it"?

Thank you very much Mr. Metamorfose. I appreciate your explanations. It was a good discussion.


Thanks again!!!

Standing for your explanation we have to accept it like that because there is no clear explanation or language can't answer all the linguistic questions!!!!

So still the "it" doesn't refer to anything!

We can say it's used only to complete a sentence with a shbject!!!!!!!

so in this case, the it refers to rain!!!!!!!!

The use of also is still confusing for some EFL learners.

which of the sentences is correct:

- The movie is also boring!

- The movie is boring also!

which position of "also" is correct? if both are correct, what would be the difference then?

but still if someone asks "to" refers to what, how can one answer this question?

in Arabic they say "the sky is raining!" is it correct to say this in English? if yes then the "it" could be sky.

since the function of adjective is to modify a noun the 'I' in this sentence the word "prejudiced" would be an adjective. However, it can be a verb in the past participle.

I my opinion, the word can be an adjective and a verb.
