知识梳理
一、冠词的概念
冠词是一种虚词,本身没有词义,也不能单独使用,要用在名词或形容词的前面。
二、冠词的分类
三、冠词的用法
1. 不定冠词的用法
(1)与数词one同源,表示“一个”,泛指某人或某物,但语气不如one 强烈。
如:There is a lamp on the desk.
(2)代表一类人或物。
如:A driver is the one who drives.
An elephant is the biggest animal on the land.
(3)不定冠词a和an的选用
①大部分单数可数名词前用a。如:a bag, a computer
②以元音字母a,e,i,o开头的单数可数名词,通常在其前面用an。
如:an apple, an egg, an ice-cream, an orange
③以元音字母u 开头的单词,有两种情况:
a. 当该字母的发音是元音/ /时,前面用an。如:an umbrella, an uncle
b. 当该字母的发音是辅音/ju /时,前面用a。如:a university student, a unit
④有的单词不是以元音字母开头,但是其第一个音素是元音音素的,也要用an。
如:an hour, an FM radio
【注】判断一个单词是否以元音开头,要根据单词音标的第一个因素。
2. 定冠词的用法
定冠词the在句中或是文中可理解为“this”或“that”, 在复数句子中理解为
“these” 或“those”。有“这(那)个(些)”的意思,但语气较弱,要和名词连用来表示
某个或某些特定的人或物。
(1)特指双方都明白的人或物。如:Look at the picture on the wall.
(2)指上文已提到过的人或物。如:There is a boy at table. The boy's name is Mike.
(3)指世上独一无二的事物。如:the sun, the moon, the earth, the sky
(4)与单数名词连用表示一类事物。如:the dollar, the fox
(5)与复数名词连用,指整个群体。
如:They are the students of Class One. 他们是一班的学生。(指全体学生)
They are students of Class One. 他们是一班的学生。(指部分学生)
(6)与形容词连用,表示一类人。如:the rich, the poor
(7)用在序数词或形容词最高级前。
如:on the second floor,the 12th birthday party,the tallest boy,the shortest
player
(8)用在某些由普通名词构成的组织、机构等专有名词前。
如:the People's Republic of China, the United States of America
(9)用在表示乐器的名词之前。如:play the piano, play the violin, play the pipa
(10)用在姓氏的复数名词之前,表示一家人。如:the Greens, the Wangs
(11)用在惯用语中。如:in the day, in the morning, the day after tomorrow
3. 零冠词的用法
(1)国名、人名前通常不用定冠词。
如:China is a great country.
Bingo is his name.
(2)在季节、月份、日期、星期等表示时间的名词之前,不用冠词。
如:Spring is the first season of the year.
Sunday is the first day of the week.
(3)在三餐之前,不用冠词。如:have breakfast, have lunch, have dinner /
supper

success.

badminton
(6)在学科、语言名词之前, 不用冠词。如: have Chinese class, speak English

如:This is my schoolbag.
Amy's doll is pink.
(9)有些个体名词,如:school, hospital等,当它们直接置于介词后时,表示该
名词的深层含义;若名词前加定冠词the,则表示一般含义。如:
