Use
 

I + verb – my + noun
 
We use subject pronouns + verb and we use possessive adjectives + noun.

• These are Susan and Thomas; they are from Ohio. And that’s their house. 
• I love my friend Sheila. 

Possessive adjectives are always singular


 
Adjectives in English have no plural form. Possessive adjectives are always singular.

• These are their suitcases. (NOT theirs suitcases)

it/its for things and they/their for people and things


 
We use he-his and she-her for people, and we use it-its for things. But in the plural, we use they-their for people and things.

• The hotel has its own spa. It is a relaxing place. 


• I like those chairs, they are beautiful. But their legs are too long. 

it’s for time and weather


 
We use it’s (=it is) to talk about the time or the weather.

• It’s very windy today, but it’s sunny. 


• ‘What time is it?’ ‘It’s three o’clock.’

it’s or its?
 
Its = possessive adjective. It’s = it is (subject + verb be)

• Look at that dog. It’s beautiful. I like its hair.
