Usage

A common error in writing is to confuse the possessive its (as in turn the camera on its side) with the contraction it's (short for either it is or it has, as in it's my fault; it's been a hot day). The confusion is at least partly understandable since other possessive forms (singular nouns) do take an apostrophe + -s, as in the girl's bike; the President's smile

Usage

Its is the possessive form of it (the dog licked its paw), while it's is the contraction of it is (look, it's a dog licking its paw) or it has (it's been too long). The apostrophe in it's never denotes a possessive. The confusion is understandable, since other possessive forms (singular nouns) do take an apostrophe + s, as in the girl's bike or the president's smile
