主语代词 + 物主形容词

Explanation

每个英语句子都需要主语。主语代词是 I、you、he、she、it、we、they。每个都有对应的物主形容词,放在名词前面:my、your、his、her、its、our、their。男性用 he/his,女性用 she/her,事物用 it/its。即使主语很明显,英语也需要它——不能像很多语言那样省略。

Examples

  • He is my friend. His name is Jack. 他是我的朋友。他的名字是杰克。
  • She is here. Her name is Emma. 她在这儿。她的名字是艾玛。
  • We are friends. You are my friend too. 我们是朋友。你也是我的朋友。

this / that(这/那)

Explanation

this 指离你近的东西;that 指离你较远的东西。两者都能单独使用(What's this?),也能放在名词前(this friend、that person)。介绍一个人时,英语用 this:"This is Jack"——第一次指出某人时不说"He is Jack"。

Examples

  • This is my friend. 这是我的朋友。
  • That is Emma. She's here. 那是艾玛。她在这儿。
  • What's this? — It's my name. 这是什么?——是我的名字。
