Grammar Grouch Moment
IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
© Jyn Meyer | Dreamstime.com
It's (with an apostrophe) is an abbreviation for “it is” (e.g., Baby, it's cold outside.)
Its (without an apostrophe) indicates possession (e.g., The dog chased its tail.)
Every time you write a sentence with it's in it, please do the following:
-
- Read the sentence aloud, replacing the it's with “it is”
- If the sentence doesn't make sense with “it is” in it, TAKE THE APOSTROPHE OUT OF “IT'S”
Thank you. Have a nice day. 🙂
