its
This word is the possessive form of the neuter pronoun "it." It is used to indicate ownership or association with an object, animal, or abstract concept. Because it is a possessive determiner or pronoun, it never changes form regardless of whether the noun it modifies is singular or plural.
Users frequently confuse "its" with "it's," which is a contraction of "it is" or "it has." A helpful rule of thumb is that "its" functions like "his" or "her," showing possession, whereas "it's" always represents a shortened phrase. Using an apostrophe to show possession for this specific word is a grammatical error.

Từ nguyên
Derived from the pronoun 'it'. In Old English, the possessive form for neuter nouns was 'his', which served both masculine and neuter genders. During the 16th and 17th centuries, 'its' began to appear as a distinct possessive form to avoid ambiguity between masculine and neuter references, eventually replacing 'his' in neuter contexts by the 18th century.
