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the.注意：1当我们使用an时，条件有三：这个名词的读音必须

2、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 hour 一个小时 an orange 一只桔子 an engineer 一位工程师 an ordinary man一个普通人 an honest person一位老实的人 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

3、，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。An elephant is bigger than a horse.A

4、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，但假设有“一个的意思那么译出，例如： Theres a tree on the hill. He has an inte

6、事物，但不具体说明何人或何物。There are seven days in a week. We have three meals a day.4指某类人或事物中的任何一个。An elephant is bigger than a horse.A car runs faster than a bike.2定冠词在句子中，既可以用于可数名词前，也可以用于不可数名词前；既用在可数名词的单数形式前，也用在可数名词的复数形式前。从表达意义上讲，它既可表达this, that之意义，也可表达these, those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 t
