These two words often get confused in the English language.
Let’s break it down.
‘Its’ is a possessive pronoun or adjective indicating ownership.
‘It’s’ is the contraction of ‘it is’.
Let’s take a look at this example sentence:
It’s great to see the puppy play with its toys.
‘It’s’ at the beginning of the sentence is a contraction, while ‘its’ at the end is used as a possessive adjective.
Next time you’re not quite sure, think about if you are talking about an ownership or the contraction for ‘it is’.
That’s it for today! See you next time!
