Its or It's?

[Nannou]

what the difference bet Its or It's

This is not strictly a question for Poll as there should be no opinion involved. They are two distinct terms having very different meanings. ' It's ' is the abbreviated form of ' It is ' so is correct in the sentence you presented ' It's a lovely town ' = ' It is a lovely town ' The apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter(s) just as it does in Can't = Cannot Shouldn't = Should not.

' Its ' without the apostrophe (pronounced apostroffee) is used to show the possessive - that is - belonging to it. The dog chased its tail. The trouble is that we usually use the apostrophe to denote the possessive - as in ' Jane's bag ' - the bag belonging to Jane - so there is an inclination to think of ' It's ' as denoting the possessive. This then leads to confusion about what do do with Its
How about something to trigger the memory -
Remember - The possessive it has lost its apostrophe

I think:

'Its' is a determiner. It means belonging to or connected with a thing, an animal or a baby

For example,
Turn the box on its side.
The dog had hurt its paw.
The baby threw its food on the floor.

'It's' is a short form. It may either be it is or it has.

It's = short form "it is/has"
It is/'s a lovely town.
Its= possessive
The cat burned its tail.

What's the difference?

Its is used as a possessive pronoun while It's is an abbreviated form of It is.

[Teia]

Its - possessive adjective or possessive pronoun

Ex. This is my dog. Its tail is short. [ -possessive adjective ]
The tail is its [ of the dog. ] - [ possessive pronoun ]

It`s - it is the short form for it is or it has

Ex. It`s a long journey. - it is...
It`s been long since I last saw you. -it has been....
