Hi Anon,
The two words sound the same when pronounced, however they are two words with very different meaning and usage.
Below is an example -
He is a boy. "is" is a verb.
He is a boy. His name is Anon."his" is a pronoun. It stands in place of a noun.
Hope this simple example is helpful.
Regards,
Tina

"Is" is a verb, a form of "to be" and it has a lot of usage (the same with "am" and "are"). You use it when you say:
1. to be in a place, to be situated (eg: Your book is on the teacher's table)
2. to exist (eg: There is a post-office on this street)
3. to remain in a place (eg: He is here till my bi

Here are some examples, all mean the same thing.
Jack is a boy. Jack's name is Jack.
He is a boy. His name is Jack
Now, a different meaning.
That is Jack's coat. Give Jack Jack's coat.
That is his coat. Give Jack his coat.
That is his coat. Give him his coat.
IS means a fact as in it is a fact.
HIS means ownership, you own a c
