物主形容词 (A1)
每个人都有一个表示所属的词:I → my,you → your,he → his,she → her。
my, your, his, her

our, their, its
群体和事物也有对应的词:we → our,they → their,it → its。
- This is our house.
- That is their dog.
- The cat licks its paw.
- Not "This is we house." — say "This is our house.". 东西前面,we 变成 our。

总是放在名词前面
表示所属的词放在 最前面,然后才是所属的东西。
- my book ✓
- her phone ✓
- their house ✓
- Not "book my" — say "my book". 表示所属的词放在东西 前面,不是后面。
- 试一试: Liam is writing in ___. (his notebook / notebook his / notebook) 答案: his notebook — 表示所属的词放最前面,然后才是东西:his notebook(不是 "notebook his")。
its (not it's)
its = 它拥有某样东西。it's = it is 的缩写。表示所属时,用没有撇号的 its。
- The dog wagged its tail.
- The city has its own park.
- The plan has its good points.
- Not "The dog wagged it's tail." — say "The dog wagged its tail.". it's 的意思是 'it is',表示所属要用没有撇号的 its。
- 试一试: The cat hurt ___ paw. (its / it's) 答案: its — 爪子是猫的,所以用 its(没有撇号)。"It's" 的意思是 "it is",这里不合适。
- 试一试: Remember: who owns it? Hiroshi parked ___ bike outside. (his / her / he) 答案: his — Hiroshi = he,所以表示所属的词是 his:his bike。(把词和所有者对应起来。)
