一、不定冠词a和an(a用在辅音音素之前,an用于元音音素之前)
1. 表示“一个人或事物”,但不像one侧重数的概念,有时可不译出。如:There is an apple.
2. 泛指某类人或事物。如:A sheep eats grass.
3. 表示首次提到的人或事物,但不具体说明何人或何物。如:A girl is waiting for you outside.
4. 表示“每一”的意思,相当于every。如:Take the medicine three times a day.
【巧记】
不定冠词有a / an , 单数名词前面站,开头读音若是元,要把an来挑选,辅音开头就用a, 仔细辨别莫用错。
二、定冠词the
1. 特指某(些)人或某(些)事物。如:I like the clothes.
2. 指说话人和听话人都熟悉的人或事物。如:Open the door, please.
3. 上文提到过的人或事物。如:
Yesterday Tom’s father bought him a new computer. The computer cost him 3,500 yuan.
4. 表示世界上独一无二的事物。如:The sun rises in the east and goes down in the west.
5. 用在序数词和形容词最高级前。如:January is the first month of a year.
6. 用在方位名词和西洋乐器名词前。如:
He lives in the south of the city.
My sister plays the piano very well.
7. 用在某些形容词前,表示某一类人或事物。如:
The nurse is kind to the sick.
8. 用在某些专有名词之前和某些习惯用语中。如:
the Great Wall, in the morning
9. 用在姓氏复数之前,表示“某某一家人”或“某某夫妇”。如:the Whites, the Browns
【巧记】
特指双方熟悉,上文已经提及,世上独一无二,方位名词乐器,某些专有名词,外加复数姓氏,序数词最高级,习惯用语特殊记。
三、不用冠词的情况
1. 某些抽象名词和物质名词前。如:Fish can’t live without water.
2. 名词前有不定代词或形容词性物主代词修饰时。如:I have some questions to ask you.
3. 复数名词表示一类人或事物时。如:Students should study hard.
4. 称呼语以及表示头衔和职务的名词前。如:
I don’t feel well today, Mum.
5. 三餐、球类运动、学科和节日名词前。如:He often plays football after supper.
6. 星期、月份、季节前一般不用冠词。如:on Monday, in October, in spring
7. 某些固定短语中。如:at night, by air, from morning till night
【巧记】
下列情况不用冠,名词之前代词限;复数名词表泛指,球类学科及三餐;抽象名词不可数,星期月份季节前;交通手段和节日,习语称谓及头衔。
