- "Its" is possessive as in, "The dog broke its tail."
- "It's" means "it is" as in, "it's a shame that I can't come up with better examples."
Play the substitution game: If you say "it is" instead of "it's" and it makes sense, then using "it's" is the right thing to do. If not, then use "its." For example, "The dog broke
it is tail," does not make sense so it becomes more obvious that you would use "its."
Hope this helps
