Would you like to know the “#1 Grammar Error”?
Hint: The word involved is small and it’s contained in this sentence.

That’s right: its vs. it’s
Yet the two rules are actually quite easy to remember.

Rule 1: When you mean it is or it has, use an apostrophe.

Examples:
It’s a nice day.
It’s your right to refuse the invitation.
It’s been great getting to know you.

Rule 2: When you are using its as a possessive, don’t use the apostrophe.





another example of american laziness

As it says, "its" is possessive as is "his", "hers", "theirs", "ours". "It's" can be either mentioned before, with an apostrophe.

This is an important matter.

‘Its’ or ‘it’s’?

The word it’s is always short for ‘it is’ (as in it's raining), or in informal speech, for ‘it has’ (as in it's got six legs).

The word its means ‘belonging to it’ (as in hold its head still while I jump on its back). It is a possessive pronoun like his.


Note the differences.

It's got a brain...happens to be correct.
