孩子作文里写 "The dog wagged it's tail",老师一看就错。it's 是"它是","它的"是 its,没撇号。
its vs it's
- its = 它的(物主代词,没撇号)
The dog wagged its tail. 狗摇它的尾巴。
- it's = it is 或 it has(有撇号,是缩写)
It's a cute dog. = It is a cute dog.
It's been raining. = It has been raining.
判断办法:把句子里的 it's 换成 it is 或 it has,读得通就用 it's,读不通就是 its。
your vs you're
- your = 你的、你们的(物主代词)
Is this your bag? 这是你的包吗?
- you're = you are(你是/你们是)
You're my best friend. = You are my best friend.
判断办法:把 you're 换成 you are,读得通就用 you're。
类似坑一组
- their = 他们的 / there = 那里 / they're = they are
Their books are over there. They're reading.
- 别和 its' 混——英语里根本没这个词。
口诀:撇号是缩写,名词性物主代词不加点;拿不准就拆开读,it is / you are 通不通。
