It's is an abbreviation if "It Is"

Its is used as a possessive pronoun.

Be careful when using these soundalike words. If a sentence makes sense with "it is", you can use the contraction "it's". If the sentence implies ownership or possession, use "its" (no apostrophe). For example: "The book is missing ITS cover." correctly uses "its" because

  • the cover belongs to the book.
  • "The book is missing IT IS cover." is gibberish.
