Hello everyone,

We use apostrophes to mark possessive nouns and contractions.
The use or lack of an apostrophe can change the meaning of a word or a sentence.

Ex: It's never late to learn.          My friend's car is new.
       It's raining men.                   The women's shoes are beautiful.

Careful: Don't confuse It's and its.

• It's can be It is or It has. 
• Its is a possessive adjective or pronoun.
