冠词
知识概述
冠词是限定词的一种,不能单独使用,只能依附于一个名词帮助说明这个名词的含义.不定冠词用来表示一类事物中泛指的某一事物,而定冠词则用于特指的某一个或某些事物,可用于不可数名词、可数名词单数及可数名词复数前,也可用于形容词前,表示一类人或物.冠词有三种形式:不定冠词a(an),定冠词(the)和零冠(即
不使用冠词).其中不定冠词a用在辅音(音素)之前,an用在元音(音素)之前.
考点归纳
1.不定冠词a/an 的用法
1)a和an 均用在单数名词之前,表示某一类人或事物.如:
John is a student. Mary is an English teacher
(1)注意特别在一些单一字母前,其音素的概念更加突出.如:
an “l”, an “m”, an “n”, an “s” an “h”, an “x”, a “u”.
(2)直些单词首字母不发意,则以后面的字母发意为進.如:
an honest boy, an hour, a European country, a usual person, an unusual person.
2)指某一类人或事物中的任何一个.如:
A steel worker makes steel. Pass me an apple, please.
3)指某人或某物,但不具体说明何人或物.如:
A student wants to see you.
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.
They go to see their parents once a week.
5)首次提到某人某物,不定冠词起介绍作用.如:
Many years ago an old man lived in a small village.
6)也可用于不可数的物质名词和抽象名词之前,使其具体化.如:
I would like a drink. We have a look at the strange guy.
7)某些固定短语中,要用不定冠词.如:
have a good time, in a hurry, have a break, for a while, take an active part in.
注意 不定冠词用在序数词前表“又”的意思,相当于 another.如:
a third bridge =another bridge.
2.定冠词用法
1)特指某(些)人或某(些)事物.如:
The book on the desk is an English dictionary.
Beijing is the capital of China.
2)指说话人和听话人都熟悉的人或事物.如:
Open the door, please. As you know, Jack is in the library.
3)上文提到过的人或事物.如:
Yesterday John's father bought him a dictionary.
The dictionary cost him 120 yuan.
4)表示世界上独一无二的事物.如:
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
The earth runs around the sun.
5)用在序数词和形容词最高级之前.如:
Shanghai is the biggest city in China.
January is the first month of the year.
6)用在某些形容词之前,表示某一类人或事物.如:
The nurse is kind to the sick.
We should take good care of the old.
注意 the 加形容词表一类人时,其谓语是复数.表一类物时,其谓语是单数.如:
The poor are (be) much more than the rich.
The beautiful is (be) still there.
7)用在某些专有名词之前和某些习惯用语中.如:
the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, in the morning, in the open air.
8)用在姓氏复数之前,表示“某某一家人”.如:
the Browns= the Brown family.
