How is Its used correctly in a sentence?

Answer 1

The word its (no apostrophe) is a possessive pronoun and a possessive adjective.

A possessive pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun that belongs to a thing.

Example sentence: The cat had muddy paws, these footprints must be its.

A possessive adjective is place before a noun to describe that noun.

Example sentence: When I dropped the cup, I broke itshandle.

The word it's (with apostrophe) is a contraction, a short form for it is or it has:

Example sentence: It is four o'clock. OR, It's four o'clock.

Answer 2

"It's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has." Use it when referring to something belonging to or associated with an animal, baby, or thing that is not specifically named. For example, "It's raining outside" or "It's been a long day."
