" For example. The dog put its head on the table. It wouldn't make sense if you said the dog put it's (it is) head on the table so you don't use an apostrophe.

"It's" is short for "it is." For example. The dog put its head on the table. It wouldn't make sense if you said the dog put it's (it is) head on the table so you don't use an apostrophe. another example. It's hot outside -or- It is hot outside. That makes sense so you do use an apostrophe. So always think of "it's" as if you were saying "it is."

Make sense?
