About this worksheet

Its shows that something belongs to it, and it's is short for it is or it has. Each sheet has twelve sentences with a blank, and your child circles its or it's. Possessive apostrophes and contractions have sheets of their own.

What your child will learn

Use its to show that something belongs to it
Use it's for it is or it has
Test a choice by saying it is

Common Core standard: L.4.2

Worked example

The dog wagged its tail. It's raining. Say it is: it is raining works, so it's.

Common mistake

Writing it's for the possessive because it ends in an s that looks like a possessive.
