Important Differences Part-2
IT’S VS ITS:
We often get confused to use it’s or its in sentence. So, guys, I am forwarding to talk about the two perplexing things that I mentioned before. First, you have to know that what “it” is? “it” is third-person singular (neuter), used to mention or stand-in for inanimate things or ideas.
IT’s:
(IT’S) is belittled of it-is or it-has. Belittled word is a shorter or contracted form of a word or group of words. We omit “I” and “ha” from IT’S by an apostrophe. (But the fact is that “IT’S” doesn’t act like it was. So be careful.
Example:
I found my football yesterday, It’s (it has) a beautiful color.
ITS :
“ITS” is mainly a possessive form of it, used to indicate ownership, possession, belonging.
Example:
- I found a ball yesterday and it’s mine.
- The school raised its floor.
Note:
- Never use it with an apostrophe after, it’s totally wrong.
- In English, we often see that using an apostrophe after name but don’t confuse it just for mentioning
Example:
- Rashed’s father is not working under any corporation now.
So, confusingly, English doesn’t use apostrophes when showing its personal pronoun like yours, hers, its.
BECAUSE VS BECAUSE OF :
These two things are absolutely different by their name, behavior.
“because” is just a conjunction, which linked two-sentence after and before of its. After using because you have to use a minimum of one subject and one verb.
Example:
- I know you ill because you have flu.
“Because of”– huh! It acts like a two-word preposition and absolutely it is.
We have to use noun or noun phrase or (verb + ing) after Because of
Example: I can’t go out because of feeling sick/ because of my sickness.
