Unit8：語法點(diǎn)講解
It’s refreshing for your skin as well.
It+is縮寫
It's和its讀起來相似，但意思完全不同。它們經(jīng)常被搞混，但錯(cuò)誤的使用會(huì)使句子含義模糊。
It's是it is或it has的縮寫，在口語中很常用。
例：It’s a beautiful day today!
今天天氣真好。
Its是所有格形容詞，表示物品屬于誰。
例：The cat is washing its paw
貓?jiān)谙此淖ψ印?/p>
其他所有格形容詞還有：my, your, his, her, our, their.
