its is a possessive pronoun=the possessive form of it. Possessive pronoun NEVER use an apostrophe
It is or it has
=it's. Here you always use an apostrophe if you are to link the two words together.
Two, to and too
To has two functions. First, as a preposition, in which case it always precedes a noun.
I'm going to the store
He went to Italy
This belongs to David
Secondly, to indicates an infinitive when it precedes a verb.
I need to study
We want to help
He's going to eat
Two is the number 2:
one, two, three
Too also has two uses. First, as a synonym for "also":
Can I go too?
He went to France too
I think that's Paul's book too
Secondly, too means excessively when it precedes an adjective or adverb.
I'm too tired
He's walking too quickly
I ate too much
