Possessive words often cause confusion with contractions, especially because both possessives and contractions can involve an apostrophe. For example, "it's" is a contraction for "it is," whereas "its" is a possessive pronoun. Similarly, "you're" is a contraction for "you are," while "your" indicates possession. It is important to determine whether the word indicates ownership (possessive) or is a shortened form of two words (contraction) to use the correct form.
