i'm too busy learning other languages, (France, Deutsch) and other stuff. Why should i Especially go back to English, and learn the "basic english" of its and it's.

but wait, i want to know, so we use "it's" if it's/its like, it is, and we use "its" for like... idk don't understand it... at all...

xD

It's like any other skill: you should always master the basics before you even try to do the advanced stuff.

"it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," eg:


 * It's raining outside (=It is raining outside)
 * It's been a pleasure (=It has been a pleasure)

"its" indicates possession:


 * I have a computer. Its color is black. (=the computer's color is black)
 * The new world hasn't been released yet, but its internal name is "Lost City" (=the new world's internal name is "Lost City")
