that's

Identifying something specific

That's is a contraction of "that is" or "that has." It introduces explanations or identifications: That's my brother, That's why I called.

With "has," it marks completion: That's been the problem all along.

The contraction also delivers verdicts or closes discussion: That's it, I'm done, That's that.
