冠词的用法小结

1、a, an, the 的用法精讲及练习冠词是虚词，本身不能单独使用，也没有词义，它用在名词的前面，帮助指明名词的含义。英语中的冠词有三种，一种是定冠词（ the Definite Article ），另一种是不定冠词（ the Indefinite Article ），还有一种是零冠词（ Zero Article ）。an, a 是不定冠词，仅用在单数可数名词前面，表示 “一”的意义，但不强调数目观念。 a 用在以辅音（指辅音音素）开头的词前， an 用在以元音（指元素音素）开头的词前。 the 是定冠词，修饰特指名词 翻译成 “这个 ”。 如果泛指某物 ,用a,/an,具体指某物的话，用 t

2、he.注意：（ 1）当我们使用 an 时，条件有三：这个名词的读音必须是以元音音素开头-即它的音标的第一个音素是元音，而不是说它是以元音字母开头。它必须是个可数名词。它还必须是个单数名词。我们常常见到这类用法：a university 一所大学an orange 一只桔子an ordinary man 一个普通人an hour 一个小时an engineer 一位工程师an honest person一位诚实的人a boy, a city, a girl, a useful animal , an old man, an honest boy,a bad apple, a tall eleph

3、ant,a university( 虽然 u 是元音字母，但不读元音),an hour 一个小时(虽然 h 不是元音，但单词读音是元音开头)不定冠词有 a 和 an 两种： a 用于辅音音素开头的词前，an 用于元音音素开头的词前。例如：a boy, a city, a girl, a useful animal , an old man, an honest boy,a bad apple, a tall elephant,a university( 虽然 u 是元音字母，但不读元音 ), an hour 一个小时 ( 虽然 h 不是元音，但单词读音是元音开头 )1指某类人或事物中的任何一个

4、。An elephant is bigger than a horse.A car runs faster than a bike.2）指人或事物 ,用来表示 “的”意思，但不强调数的观念，只说明名词为不特定者。指人或事物即不具体说明是 何人何物 。例如：There are seven days in a week.We have three meals a day.A teacher is looking for you.We work five days a week.3）不定冠词含有 “的”意思，但数量观念没有 one 强烈，在句子里一般可以不必译出，但若有 “一个 ”的意思则译出，例如

5、：There s a tree on the hill.He has an interesting book. An orange is good for you. 桔子对你有好处。 How much is it ? 多少钱？ Two yuan a kilo. 二元一公斤。4）一般用在可数名词单数前，指人或事物的某一种类。例如：Bill is a student.He is a doctor.（ 5）用在某些固定词组中。例如：a lot of,a moment ago, a few,a littlea bit have a rest have a cold a kind of a piece

7、ose之意义。二 . 定冠词的用法（ 1）特指某（些）人或某（些）事物。例如：The book on the desk is mine.（ 2）指双方都知道的人或事物。例如：Open the door, please.请开门。（ 3）用在世界上独一无二的事物前。the sunthe earththe moon the skythe world例如：The sun is bigger than the moon太.阳比月亮大些。但这些名词作为 描绘性定语时，可用不定冠词。例如：Look!

8、he first island is the biggest of the three第.一个小岛是三个中最大的。5）用在用普通名词构成的党派，国家等专有名词以及江河、海洋、山脉、群岛、海峡、海湾等专有名词前。the Sahara 撒哈拉沙漠the Jinggang Mountains井冈山the Changjiang River 长江the Pacific Ocean太平洋the Red Sea红海the Suez苏伊士运河the United Nations 联合国the Great Wall长城the Red Cross Hospital红十字医院例如：They will visit t

9、he Great Wall next week.6）用在形容词前表示一类人， the +形容词指的是一群人，是一种复数含义，所以其后动词应用复数形式。the rich 有钱人the poor穷人the sick 病人the old老人the young 年轻人the blind盲人例如：The old are sick. 这些老人生病了。7）用在姓名复数形式前表示一家人或一家人中的两个，或两个以上的人。例如： The Smiths have moved to London. 斯密斯一家去了伦敦。The Whites have no children 怀.特夫妇没有小孩。（ 8）用在某些习惯用语
