its without the apostrophe is a possessive pronoun, for example: My brother has just bought a car, but its engine is damaged. (its in the sentence can be replaced by "the car's" ("but the car's engine is damaged") It's with the apostrophe is a short word for "it is". For example: My brother just bought a new car, it's a Tesla Model Y. (it is a Tesla Model Y). Need more help?I am here!
Dear Kay, You can't refer to your brother with an "it" but you can say "He's (he has) bought a car" When it comes to "it" however; let me clarify: - "It's" = "It has" can be used like this: It's been a long time.. / It has been a long time.. - "It's" = "It is" can be used like this: It's my favorite day of the week. / It is my favorite day of the week. I hope that helped
It's is a contraction for it is. It's is at the beginning of a sentence and it's is in the body of a sentence.
