Don't think I could explain it, but I would recommend reading "Eats, Shoots and Leaves". It is an entertaining way to find out more.

We use an apostrophe for either possession or contraction.

When it comes to it's - if 'it is' cannot be substituted into the sentence then no apostrophe.

Great website, MB. I'll be directing my class there when they go through the phase of deciding you need an apostrophe before every s.
