 Difference between it’s and itsÂ
There are many words in English which sound similar but they have different meaning. It’s and its are the most confused words used incorrectly. It’s and Its sound the same when spoken but they have different meaning and they are written in different ways.
I have observed many people get confused understanding the difference between it’s and its. They do mistakes while using it’s and its at correct places as a result the whole meaning changes.

Today, in this post, I will clearly explain the difference between it’s and its.
It’s
It’s has an apostrophe while its is written without an apostrophe.
It’s is a contraction form for It is or it has.
It’s is a contraction form for It is or it has.
For example: (It’s used as It is)
1. It’s very nice place to visit.
If you expand it’s, you will write the same sentence like-
It is very nice place to visit.
2.It’s beautiful dress.
It is beautiful dress.
Another example: (It’s used as it has)
1. It’s been long time since I saw you.
It has been long time since I saw you.
2. It’s been raining since morning.
It has been raining since morning.
Its:
Its is a possessive form for pronoun ‘it’. Its shows possession for pronoun ‘it’. Its means something belongs to the pronoun ‘it’.
For example:
1.The dog lost its eye. (dog’s eye)
2. It’s my dress. I love its colour.
(Colour of dress)
3. Silk is famous for its softness.
