OpenStudy (mathmale):

it's is a contraction. What's a contraction? If neither word were shortened, how would you write them (separately)?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

"it's" is a contraction. It's made up from two separate words: "it" and "is." We can omit the 2nd 'I.' does this sound right? "the cat cleans it is fur several times a day."

OpenStudy (saucvi):

its is the possessive for 'it' just as you would add an apostrophe s to make something possessive (ex. Anna's). It's is a contraction for it is. A contraction takes two words and combines them into one word, the apostrophe replacing the letters no longer there (ex. didn't. Contraction for did not. The apostrophe replaces the "o" that is no longer there.). This all being said, what do you think the answer is?
