I can’t envisage any use of “it is” (or “it’s”) at the end of a sentence, Philippe, except
perhaps colloquially or in older forms of the language. But the rule is that the possessive pronoun has no apostrophe, whereas the
contraction of the phrase “it is” does.

Help a poor non-native. I had learned that no contractraction such as " it’s « for
"it is" should be used (and is actually ever heard) at the end of a sentence.
Are trends changing?
