When do you use its and it's?
"It's" with the apostrophe is a contraction of "it is": "Hey, it's a dog!"; "its" without the apostrophe means "belonging to it": "Have you tried pulling its tail?" I find the easiest way to remember is to imagine that the apostrophe is the dot over the I. (Note that normally the possessive S on the end of a word has an apostrophe -- "the dog's tail" -- but in the case of pronouns it's omitted: "That one is hers, this one is ours, and the other one is yours".)
