Where to put its and in a sentence?

"Its" and "it's" are often confused, but they have different meanings and placements in a sentence. Here's a breakdown:

"Its" is a possessive pronoun, meaning "belonging to it." It functions as an adjective and always goes before the noun it modifies.

* Example: The dog wagged its tail. ("Its" modifies "tail" and shows possession.)

"It's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has." It functions as a pronoun and verb and cannot be used as an adjective. It always stands alone.

* Example: It's a beautiful day. ("It's" is a contraction of "it is" and acts as both the subject and verb.)

Here are some tips to help you remember:

* If you can substitute "it is" or "it has" for the word, use "it's."

* If you can't substitute "it is" or "it has," and the word is indicating possession, use "its."
