It’s Vs. Its

Confused about when to use "It's" and "Its"? You're not alone! These two often get mixed up, but they have different uses in a sentence.

It's (Contraction): "It's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has." It’s used when you can replace it with "it is" or "it has" in your sentence.

For example: "It's going to be sunny today." (It is going to be sunny today.)

Its (Possessive): "Its," on the other hand, is a possessive form, meaning something belongs to it. No apostrophe needed!

For example: "The dog wagged its tail." (The tail belongs to the dog.)

Remember:

- "It's" with an apostrophe is always "it is" or "it has."

- "Its" without an apostrophe shows possession.

Example: "It's important for a bird to build its nest in a safe place."
