Got a great tip? Share it with us. You know, stuff like "Prevent sneezing by pressing you index finger firmly between your nose and your upper lip."

"It's" means "it is". If you mean "belonging to it", try "its".
"Who's" means "who is". If you mean "belonging to whom", try "whose".

if you list all the examples of possessive pronouns, then it is much clearer
whose?
(mine)
yours
its
his
hers
ours
theirs
Although, I have seen people write the possessive as their's, our's and even hi's
Ban the apostrophe for all genitives! It is an artificial invention anywho.

Simples.
Add 's to a noun to get the possessive, unless it already ends in an S.
Boy - boy's
Boys - boys'
Girl - girl's
Girls - girls'
Child - child's
Children - children's
Man - man's
Men - men's
Woman - woman's
Women - women's
Person - person's
People - people's
There's no such word as womens, so womens' can't exist either.
