"Its"
* Use "its" as a possessive pronoun. It shows ownership or belonging. Think of it like "his" or "her."
* Example: The dog wagged its tail. (The tail belongs to the dog.)
"It's"
* Use "it's" as a contraction of "it is" or "it has."
* Example: It's a beautiful day. (This means "It is a beautiful day.")
* Example: It's been raining all day. (This means "It has been raining all day.")
Here's a quick way to remember:
* If you can replace the word with "it is" or "it has," use "it's."
* If it shows ownership, use "its."
