Fine.

It's vs its.

A contraction is two words becoming one. So it is becomes it's. It has also becomes it's. We use contractions everyday. Some examples: we are becomes we're, will not becomes won't, they are becomes they're, and so on.

Its is a possessive pronoun. For example: The dog ate its food.
Its refers to the dog, and its is possessive because it's talking about the dogs food.

You wouldn't say: The dog ate it's food.
Because it's is a contraction. Separate the contraction if you're not sure.
The dog ate it is food.
The dog ate it has food.

Doesn't work.
