How do you use its in a sentence as pronoun?

Here are some examples of how to use "its" as a pronoun in a sentence:

* The dog wagged its tail excitedly. (Here, "its" replaces "the dog's")

* The car lost its muffler on the highway. (Here, "its" replaces "the car's")

* The tree shed its leaves in autumn. (Here, "its" replaces "the tree's")

* The company announced its quarterly earnings. (Here, "its" replaces "the company's")

Remember that "its" is the possessive pronoun for things that are not human. If you are referring to a person, you would use "his" or "her".
