    Today I will be explaining the differences between its and it's.

    It's
    A contraction of it and is. When you use it's you are saying it is.
    i.e. It's cold outside. --> It is cold outside.

    Its
    A possessive adjective (showing possession). Use when talking about a belonging (not necessarily physical)
    i.e. Its beard is turning blue. --> The beard that belongs to it is turning blue.

    So please before you type it's or its, ask yourself "am I trying to say it is?" if you are then use it's if you're not, use its.

    Hang on, I copyrighted grammar lessons @JangoGrammarInc - 19/2/14. I have the right to sue you EA_Sharks! But I won't, mainly because, these people need to learn some grammar.

    It's bad grammar to start a sentence with 'but'.
