Its or It's?

When do you use its or it's?

It's always a big problem and you can see this everywhere! If you happen to have a can of Ayam tuna in your cupboard, go take a look at it. I think there's a slogan on the can, something that goes along the lines of 'tastes good on it's own'.

Every time I have tuna for breakfast, the English teacher in me cringes because it's supposed to be 'good on its own'!

Lesson for today:
it's -> it is

For example: It's a hot day! (It is a hot day.)

its-> to show something that belongs to a thing or an animal.

For example, the dog has brown fur. Its fur is soft.

Imagine the sentence being read as 'tastes good on it is own'. Doesn't make much sense now does it?

On a side-note, we wrote limericks today during CCA.

Some of you are really talented at it!

Here is one rather nonsensical one I wrote.

There was once a teacher named Ms Toh,
Who slept near her sister's big toe.
"Don't kick me in your sleep!"
"Alright, I'd try not to flip."
But alas, she did and gave Ms Toh a big blow.

So... challenging Math problems anyone?? *huge grin*
