#6: It's/Its
Question:
The car won't start because its battery, or it's battery, is dead?
Answer: its
How to Remember It:
The word it's means "it is" or "it has," while its means "belonging to it."
In the sentence above, "it is battery" or "it has battery" doesn't work – so the correct version has to be its.
Similarly, in the sign shown here, "it is/has accessories" and "it is/has enclosure" don't make sense, so it's wasn't the right choice.

This one actually is confusing because typically an 's means that it belongs to someone. That is Brian's book. Apparently the rule does not hold true if we are talking about an inanimate object, an "it". So what about non-people. That is the dog's bone. ? Get back to me on that one 'cuz you started this nonsense.
