“Its”是个中性的词汇,是物主代词。这个“Its”用来描述动物或没有生命的物体。“Its”和“It's”经常混在一起,是因为一些人错误地把“It's”当成所有格。不过,如果在"Jeanna's dog bit me."这样的句子中,名词后面的“'s”的确表示的是所有格。别把两者弄混了。下面举一些例子:
My oak tree loses its leaves in autumn.
My neighbor's cat never stays in its own yard.
That bottle of wine is cheap, but it has its pluses.
Google needs to update its privacy policy.
"It's"是 "it is" 或"it has"的缩写。下面举一些例子:
It's (it is) a nice day
It's (it has) been a nice day.
it's (it is)
