Common Mistake: Using "his" instead of "he's"

One common mistake that English speakers often make is confusing the possessive pronoun "his" with the contraction "he's."

The Difference Between "his" and "he's"

The word "his" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership or belonging.

It is used to show that something belongs to a male person or animal.

• Example 1:That is his car. - Here, "his" shows that the car belongs to someone.
• Example 2:He is washing his dog. - Again, "his" indicates that the dog belongs to the person who is washing it.

On the other hand, "he's" is a contraction of the words "he" and "is" or "he" and "has." It is used to indicate either the state of being or possession alongside the pronoun "he."

• Example 1:He's going to the party tonight. - In this sentence, "he's" means "he is" going to the party.
• Example 2:He's been playing guitar for years. - Here, "he's" means "he has" been playing guitar for years.
