    Not native either, but pretty sure apostrophe-s is about ownership whereas just s is about plural. eg.:

    “It’s a dog’s bark.”

    “The dogs are barking.”

      “Its” vs “it’s” is probably the most common mistake in the English language. Apostrophe is used for ownership as well as contraction, BUT contraction supersedes ownership. So its means ownership and it’s means it is.
