Its vs. It's

Its refers to the last single noun referred to.
  • Example: At the dog track today, the dog I bet on won. Its come from behind victory over the other dogs was remarkable.
It's is a contraction of it and is.
  • Example: It's about time I made to the next level in the game.
Memorization tip: When in doubt, say the sentence using "it is." If the sentence makes sense, use it's. If the sentence does not make sense, use its.
