Is this proper apostrophe use? It's a shame that the books covers were all torn and tattered.

OpenStudy (xmoses1):

yes it is correct usage :) When you add an apostrophe to the 'its' then it changes the word to 'it is'. It is grammatically correct to say 'it is a shame that the books covers were all torn and tattered'
