Last night, I dreamed that I had perfect pitch. This morning, I watched a bird fly into a car that was traveling 40 miles an hour, an explosion of feathers, then it flew away. Now, I watch a woman on the freeway brush her hair for mile after mile.

Most people can, without thinking, form a possessive noun. You build one by adding an apostrophe and an “s” to a noun, as in “Occam’s razor” and “the cat’s meow.”
But things are different with pronouns. (Pronouns are those little words that stand in for nouns, such as he, she, it, they, us, him, her, you.) You NEVER use an apostrophe for the possessive form of a pronoun. Instead, you use a different word. So the possessive of “me” is “mine” and the possessive of “he” is “his.” So far so good.
“It” is the problem pronoun. To form the possessive, “it” DOES get an “s” on the end, but it doesn’t get an apostrophe (repeat: You NEVER use an apostrophe for the possessive form of a pronoun).
Here’s how to get it right for “its” and “it’s”:
It’s confusing, I know, so any time you type an apostrophe, I recommend that you pause and think.
