Thank you for the answer^^

Can 'its', then, be used to unknown *** as the extension of other cases?

For example,,, um.. I'm not good at giving an example but I know there will be another situation.

Ah..

A professor cleaned its book. Oh, I made that example, but it seems 'its' is not allowed but only his/her. right?

Can't think of any better example ?

Hi,

I said 'a baby or an infant'. So, not a professor.
