Tbh the possesive form of “it” is a bitch. For all other words you do 's to indicate possession, but for this exact word you leave out the apostrophe. Whether vs weather, their, there, vs they’re, or your vs you’re, they all have nothing on this contra intuitive POS of a rule.

Only if the words are nouns, not for pronouns. “Its” is a possessive pronoun, like his, hers, ours, yours, theirs. None of those words use apostrophes.
it’s interesting how non-native speakers almost never confuse those though
we make other kinds of mistakes, personally i really struggle with prepositions in every one of my non-native languages, because my native language doesn’t have them, but has a weird suffix system instead

Because for native speakers we confuse the homonyms. Non-natives didn’t grow up hearing all these words pronounced exactly the same.
