Contractions

Even though contractions use an apostrophe, they do not show possession. They are the shorter, more informal form of two words.

who is = who's
did not = didn't
you are = you're
it is = it's

It is easy to confuse words like:
who's with whose
you're with your
it's with its

Who's means who is while whose is possessive.

You're means you are while your is possessive.

It's means it is while its is possessive.
