Introduction to Its and It's
In Greek mythology, many stories feature gods and heroes whose actions and attributes are often described using possessive pronouns and contractions. Understanding the difference between 'its' and 'it's' is vital for accurate storytelling and interpretation. 'Its' is a possessive determiner, indicating ownership, while 'it's' is a contraction of 'it is' or 'it has'. Recognising their correct usage helps ensure clarity in both written and oral communication, especially when discussing mythological characters and artifacts.
