minus-squaregiacomo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down4·1 month agothis is why I hate its vs it’s. if “it” was Dave, it would be to Dave’s full advantage. this shit will likely never make sense to me.
minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 month agoYou only do “it’s” for “it is”. The rest are “its”. That simple. You don’t do it for possession with “it”.
minus-squareSystemDisc@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoIf you can replace “it’s” with “it is” or “it has” it needs an apostrophe. If you can’t, because it’s a possessive pronoun showing ownership, there’s no apostrophe. “It’s a good day.”/“It’s been a good day.” vs “Its day was good.”
