english question

<p>Dog obedience training is an important undertaking
when one acquires a new dog.</p>

<p>F. NO CHANGE
G. one’s acquiring
H. one who acquires
J. it acquires</p>

<p>hey ,</p>

<p>I was wondering why it couldn’t as well be answer choice G?
I’d appreciate some help :)</p>

<p>why it couldn’t be the awnser choice g? well what is the real awnser? I’m going to say awnser F</p>

<p>The best answer is F. The indefinite pronoun one
is used to indicate any of the possible people who
acquire a new puppy or dog. Because one is a collective
pronoun, it is considered a singular pronoun,
so the correct verb to use is “acquires.” You do not
need the pronoun who in the sentence, so eliminate
answer choice H. It is not correct to use the pronoun
it refer to people, so eliminate answer choice J.</p>

<p>okay…so, why can’t it be g</p>

<p>woot woot! All my studying has paid off! What it do! 33 fo show!
ok enough gloating, it can’t be G because the person dosen’t have possesion of “aquiring”.
You can say “one’s dog” where the subject owns the dog but to say “own’s aquiring” you can’t own a verb. Don’t mess up one’s with one is. It dosen’t mean that. Your thinking of when one is aquiring a dog which would be an awnser that works…</p>

<p>One’s =/= One is</p>

<p>Is it really mean that? Tbh I thought it meant one’s as in possession.</p>

<p>Well I see why it’s wrong now. It changes the meaning. Aquiring means your training the dog before you even have it aquires means that you actually have the dog In possesion.</p>

<p>Actually what are you talking about one’s does not mean one is… One is a noun that takes the possesive</p>
