    it’s means “it is”. It is really not difficult, just pretend you are Data and swear off contractions.

      I think the contraction vs possesive thing messes with me, and my brain can never settle on what goes where when, how, or why…

        Just try changing it to “it is”. If the sentence still makes sense, it’s “it’s”. Otherwise it’s “its”.
