定义 / 说明
英语中的撇号(apostrophe)不止一种用途,这也是常见混淆点。它可用于缩写,如 it's(= it is)和 don't(= do not)。也可用于所有格 's,如 the girl's bag。这两种形式看起来相似,但含义不同。最常见错误之一就是混淆 it's 和 its。
关键规则
- it's 只表示 it is 或 it has。
- 所有关系用 its(无撇号):The company changed its name.
- 所有格用 's:Anna's bag, the dog's tail。
- 仔细读句子:若能替换成 it is,那就该用 it's。
- 不要把缩写和所有格混为一谈。
例句
- It's cold today. - 今天很冷。
- The cat's toy is under the chair. - 猫的玩具在椅子下面。
- The company changed its plan. - 公司改变了它的计划。
- It's a good idea. - 这是个好主意。
- My friend's bike needs a new seat. - 我朋友的自行车需要新座椅。
常见错误
- ❌ Its cold today. -> ✅ It's cold today.
- ❌ The company changed it's plan. -> ✅ The company changed its plan.
- ❌ My friend bike is outside. -> ✅ My friend's bike is outside.
