| Re: apostrophe Welcome, moispicy.  Its is a possessive pronoun. Ex: This is the dog's house. It's its house. It's has two possibilities: 1) A contraction of it and is Ex: It is its house / It's its house. 2) A contraction of it and has Ex: It has been a long time / It's been a long time. Note, with it's, look for a present participle; e.g., been. If you see one, you'll know that it's stands for it has, not it is. Does that help? |
