You can't possess your its and apostrophise it too
December 7th 2008 04:30
This will be about the shortest lesson on apostrophes you will see; it will be in the plainest language; and by the end of it some of the mystery of apostrophes will have been banished.
This lesson is about the word its.
It does not take an apostrophe.
It does not take an apostrophe.
Yes, we normally use an apostrophe to show possession: Sam's arm, Sam's leg, Sam's bum.
But not with its.
You can write its with an apostrophe, but that is something different. That is the short form of it is. It's got everything to do with contraction and nothing to do with possession.
Just remember: You can't possess your its and apostrophise it too.
