"it's" vs "its"

[RonBee]

Which one is right?

Maybe they are greedier, but British dogs tend to eat and drink from bowls.

I think it amounts to the same thing.

Hello there

I think the answer is Its

am I correct

thought my level is an upper Intermediate, but i think my English is not pretty good at all & my grammar as well . So , could you please tell me the answer

The word "its" is a possessive. "It's" is a contraction.

"It's" is the contraction, "Its" is the possessive; my question is..."does the possessive need an apostrophe such as Its'?........I'm having a Gray moment!!!
p.s.-I've been asked to proofread a book, I may need to re-think my decision to do so!

Personal pronouns that take the form of possessives do not take apostrophes.

theirs
hers
his
its
ours

No apostrophes!

Of course, nouns (not pronouns!) do take an apostrophe when taking the possessive form.

Simple, isn't it?
