認識所有格 (my, your, his, her, its, our, their)

今天我們要學的是最基礎、最常用的一種所有格，它們叫做「所有格形容詞」(Possessive Adjectives)。

認識所有格形容詞 (Possessive Adjectives)

所有格形容詞是用來表示「所有權」或「歸屬關係」的詞。它們就像形容詞一樣，需要放在「名詞」前面，告訴我們這個名詞是「誰的」。

每一個「人稱代名詞主格」都有一個對應的所有格形容詞：

• I (我) → my (我的)
  例：This is my book. (這是我的書。)
• you (你/你們) → your (你的/你們的)
  例：Is that your pencil? (那是你的鉛筆嗎？)
  例：These are your shoes. (這些是你們的鞋子。)
• he (他) → his (他的)
  例：His name is David. (他的名字是大衛。)
• she (她) → her (她的)
  例：Her cat is white. (她的貓是白色的。)
• it (它) → its (它的)
  例：The dog is chasing its tail. (這隻狗在追牠的尾巴。)
• we (我們) → our (我們的)
  例：Our classroom is big. (我們的教室很大。)
• they (他們/她們/它們) → their (他們的/她們的/它們的)
  例：Their car is red. (他們的車是紅色的。)

重要規則：後面一定要加名詞！

這是所有格形容詞最重要的規則！它們不能單獨存在，後面必須接一個名詞，才能表達完整的意思。

錯誤：This book is my.
正確：This is my book.

注意！常見的混淆字：

• its (它的) vs. it's (它是 = it is 或 it has)
  例：The cat licked its paw. (貓舔了它的爪子。)
  例：It's a sunny day. (今天是個晴天。)
• their (他們的) vs. there (那裡) vs. they're (他們是 = they are)
  例：That is their house. (那是他們的房子。)
  例：The book is over there. (書在那裡。)
  例：They're good students. (他們是好學生。)
