It's is a contraction of the two words it is and can be used wherever those two words are used in that order. For example an answer to the question "Where is the TV remote?" could be "I think it is under the sofa" or, alternatively "I think it's under the sofa".

In this changing world it's disappointing to see how many people have abandoned their culture and many of its traditional values.

These two words can be very confusing!

  • It's is a contraction for it is: It is / It's a warm day today.
  • Its is the possessive form of the pronoun its; i.e. "belonging to it". Most possessive forms in English take an apostrophe, but the word its and its companions yours, hers, etc. are exceptions to the rule.

You can keep them straight by remembering either of these two rules:

1. "it's" means "it is", so if the sentence makes sense when you write "it is", you have the correct form; otherwise, use "its". For example, do you write The dog lost its collar, or ... lost it's collar ? If you replace it's with it is, the sentence becomes "lost it is collar" - which sounds ridiculous. That means the correct word is its, without an apostrophe.\

2. The word "it" is a pronoun like you, he, him, her, us, etc. and they all form possessives the same way. No one would ever write "The book is her's", but always hers, so the possessive would be its, not "it's"

The word its is a possessive pronoun, meaning "belonging to it."

An example sentence would be, "The table wobbles because one of its legs is shorter than the others."
