- its or it's?

Hello,
Thanks for the kind words. Are you saying that you find it hard to start a conversation in English? Who are you talking to and what do you want to talk to them about?
One great way to start a discussion is to ask the other person what they think!
Best wishes,

Hi!
If I am talking to Sarah and I say 'Kate bought a gift for your boyfriend' in English, then I mean that Kate bought a gift for Sarah's boyfriend. Does that make it clearer?
