Have you ever struggled with choices like these when you write sentences?
The puppy chased (it’s or its) tail.
(You’re or Your) my closest friend.
(Who’s or Whose) bike is in the garage?
Страница №3

Well, you are not alone. Many people confuse these pairs of words all the time:
it’s and its
you’re and your
who’s and whose
Страница №4

The most obvious difference between the words in each pair is the apostrophe ( ‘ ) mark:
It’s, you’re, and who’s all contain an apostrophe.
These 3 words are contractions.
Страница №5

Contractions join two words into one. In the process, one or more letters are left out, and an apostrophe replaces these letters.
Two Words
It is or It has
You are
Who is or Who has

Possessive pronouns are pronouns that show ownership or possession. They DO NOT need an apostrophe to show ownership, unlike nouns, which DO need an apostrophe to show ownership:
Possessive Pronoun---His car (pronoun with no ‘s)
Possessive Noun---Bob’s car (noun with an ‘s)
