Choosing between its and it's

[Voiceover] Hello, grammarians, and, hello, Paige.

[Voiceover] Hi, David.

[Voiceover] So, what are we working on today?

[Voiceover] So, today we're gonna talk about the difference between it's and its.

[Voiceover] Oh, oh, that sounds real tricky.

[Voiceover] Yeah, but we'll be okay.

[Voiceover] Okay. So, it's, with an apos - So, we have these two forms in English and they mean very different things.

So, let's go though them really quick.

So, it's with an apostrophe is a contraction, right?

What is it a contraction of?

[Voiceover] It is or it has.

[Voiceover] As in, it's a lovely day outside.

Or, for it has, like it's been, it has been one week since you looked at cheese.

[Voiceover] (laughing) Sad, it's been a sad week.

[Voiceover] It's been a sad week.

As opposed to its.

Can you walk me through its.

[Voiceover] So, its is a possessive pronoun.

And it's a little confusing 'cause possessive usually uses an apostrophe, too.

But possessive pronouns don't use apostrophes.

So, you would say something like, I like rib-eye steak because of its rich flavor.

[Voiceover] That's a pretty grody-looking steak.

[Voiceover] (laughs) I know, pink and green is not how you want your steak to look.

[Voiceover] So, we frankly just used its where we would use his or her or their or our.

You would use its.

[Voiceover] Right, it's just that it's not a person, so.

[Voiceover] So, if I were asking you, can I borrow your book?

That's kinda the same thing as I like rib-eye steak because of its flavor.

[Voiceover] Right, it's showing that the flavor belongs to the steak just like the book belongs to me.

[Voiceover] Right. So, flavor belongs to it, book belongs to you.

So, this is the core distinction, is if you're talking about anything that would be about possession you use its.

I-T-S, no apostrophe.

If you're trying to contract something, it is or it has, like it's a lovely day outside or it's been one week since you looked at cheese.

Then you would use I-T apostrophe S 'cause it's a contraction, you're trying to cram more information into this one little phrase.

[Voiceover] Precisely.

[Voiceover] Sweet. That's how you choose between I-T apostrophe S and I-T no apostrophe S.

You can learn anything. David out.

[Voiceover] Paige out.
