None of the possessive pronoun forms use an apostrophe:
- the possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, hers, his, its, ours, theirs
- the possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, hers, its, our, their
The word its with an apostrophe is the contraction it's, a shortened form for it is. The word its and the word it's have two different meanings, two different functions:
- The puppy got its paws muddy.
- It's time for Monday night football!
