Well "It's" is always present tense because "it's" composed of the words it and is. And is, is present tense. As for "it" that depends on the following word.

i.e:

It was (past tense)

It is (present tense)

it has (Past tense)

it shall (present tense)

The words its and it's can be veryconfusing.

In spite of having an apostrophe, it's is a contraction that stands for it is:

  • It's raining today (It is raining ...)
  • She thinks it's a good idea to eat early. ( ... it is a good idea ...)

Even though its does NOT have an apostrophe, it IS a possessive meaning "belonging to it".

  • The dog lost its collar. (The collar belongs to the dog)
  • Its length is 2 meters. (The length of it)
