English: "its" versus "it's"

"They lost their appeal."
"She lost her appeal."
"He lost his appeal."
"It lost its appeal."

The word "its" is used when discussing something owned by a non-human. It doesn't contain an apostrophe.

For example,
"The cat lost its ear in a fight."
"Our software comes with its own self-improvement algorithm."


ON THE OTHER HAND,
The word "it's" is a contraction of "it is" (or "it has").

For example,
"It is going to win an award."
"It's going to win an award."

"It has already won three awards!"
"It's already won three awards!"

Meet Kate. Grey is her favourite colour. Maths is her favourite subject. Decency is her favourite type of behaviour.
She definitely does not like jewellery or modelling, but loves aeroplanes and other machines made of aluminium.
