When not to use an apostrophe
Possessive pronouns never take an apostrophe. 'It's' can only mean 'it is'; this apostrophe can never be used to indicate possession or the genitive case with 'it'. Thus you cannot write 'it's weight' when you mean 'the weight of it'; the correct spelling is 'its weight'.
Similarly, apostrophes should not be used with other pronouns like his, hers, ours, yours, theirs.
