Apostrophes

Its vs. It's — The Most Common Confusion

"It's" = it is or it has. "It's cold today." "It's been a long day." "Its" (no apostrophe) = possessive pronoun, like his or her. "The dog wagged its tail." A useful test: substitute "it is" or "it has". If the sentence still makes sense, use "it's". If not, use "its". Never write "it's" when you mean the possessive.
