English TIP
Compare:
your = possessive adjectiveyou're = you are
its = possessive adjectiveit's = it is
Be careful! There is no apostrophe (') in the possessive adjective "its". We use an apostrophe to write the short form of "it is". For example:
it is raining = it's raining.
I'm taking my dog to the vet. It's broken its leg. = It is broken its leg.
