And I hope I give a right example. I almost always say that a dog is a human being.  May I? I have a dog. He's funny. |

Maybe I worded my question badly.
Why does the possessive pronoun 'its' not have an apostrophe?
I know the difference between it's and its, I'm just wondering why the apostrophe is dropped in the aforementioned case.

Because the apostrophe signifies a missing letter, such as the "i" in "it is." And so in the possessive pronoun, there is no letter missing.

| Why is it different for a pronoun compared to a noun though?
