I really need to thoroughly proofread whenever I copy lyrics from a site as they often have really annoying grammatical errors.

It's/Its

It’s time for you to learn how to use that contraction. Its use is not difficult to understand if you THINK before you write or type. See? I just did it.

  It's – It's is a contraction of it is or it has.

“Do you think it's okay for you to talk to me that way?”

“I read your short story and it’s terrible.”

“It’s been great knowing you, but I’m done now.”

“It's been a long time since we…nevermind.”

  Its – Its is the possessive form of it.

“I think the first Godfather movie was better than its two sequels.”

“This stove has its own timer, so stop counting.”

“Nice baby. What is its name?”

“Return my ping pong paddle to its proper place, please.

  Just remember…If you can replace the word with "it is" or "it has," use it's. Otherwise, it's always its. Don’t be confused by the fact that virtually every other word in our incredibly challenging English language indicates possession with an apostrophe followed by the letter “s.”
