Its and It's
- You can look better than an English speaker!
One little apostrophe (') makes a big difference.
it is = it's
Possessive pronoun of "it" = its
Many English speakers incorrectly use ITS for
IT'S, and also IT'S for ITS
Strangely, they are often incorrect both ways! When it is a
possessive pronoun, they often use IT'S because noun possessives are
made that way. When it is a contraction, they forget to put in
the apostrophe ('). So if you learn this difference very well two good
things happen:
1. You look like you know something.
2. You do not follow their example without thinking.
