two more points for explaining why

It's means it is. Its is possessive.

Its tragic in it's absurdity.

It's tragic in its absurdity.

Its tragic in its absurdity.

It's tragic in its' absurdity.

Number 2. It's tragic in its absurdity.

It's ....it is a contradiction for It is and its....it is possessive pronoun. Thus you have a complete sentence (subject/pronoun + predicate)

Contradiction?????? I believe you are looking for the word "contraction"

my explanation is " s' " is a possessive plural such as " Hells' Angels " and "it's " is singular and " its " is the pronoun referring to " it's "

"Hells Angels" must means they are the angels of many Hells because you can drop the apostrophe if you so wish and " s' " becomes assumed

Personally, I think "Hells Angels" means "Hell's Angels" or the angels of one hell and they just spelt it wrong.


Anyone know if I am right?

my explanation is "its' " is a possessive plural such as "Hells' Angels " and "it is " is singular and "its" is the pronoun referring to" it's "

"Hells Angels" means they are the angels of many Hells because you can drop the apostrophe if you so wish and "s' " is assumed

Personally, I think "Hells Angels" means "Hell's Angels" or the angels of one hell and they just spelt it wrong.

The word its' does not exist. The possessive plural of it is their.

Number 2. It's tragic in its absurdity.

It's ....it is a contradiction for It is and its....it is possessive pronoun. Thus you have a complete sentence (subject/pronoun + predicate)

so the parts of speech are :

"its" is a possessive pronoun




subject is what is being discussed so "tragic" is the subject?


predicate is "its absurdity" as this phrase describes tragic as being absurd?

 

[Yoga Face]

The word its' does not exist. The possessive plural of it is their.

You go and tell them their name and logo is grammatically incorrect.
