冠詞
冠詞是虛詞,本身不能單獨使用,也沒(méi)有詞義,它用在名詞的前面幫助指明名詞的含義。冠詞分為不定冠詞a(an)和定冠詞the兩種。不定冠詞僅用在單數可數名詞前面,表示“一”的意義,但不強調數目觀(guān)念,只表示名詞為不特定者。定冠詞則表示名詞為特定者,表示“這”、“那”、“這些”、“那些”的意思,在可數的單復數名詞或不可數名詞前面都可以用。
不定冠詞
We need an apple and a knife.
我們需要一個(gè)蘋(píng)果和一把刀子。
1.a和an的區別
不定冠詞有a[+]和an[+Q]兩種形式,a用于輔音(不是輔音字母)開(kāi)頭的詞前。an用于元音(不是元音字母)開(kāi)頭的詞前。
a boy, a university, a European country
u是元音字母,但發(fā)音是[U(],是輔音。
an hour ,an honor ,an island
h是輔音字母,但它不發(fā)音,它的音標是是元音。
an elephant, an umbrella, an egg

IV、冠詞基本用法
【速記口訣】
名詞是禿子,常要戴帽子,可數名詞單,須用a或an, 輔音前用a, an在元音前,若為特指時(shí),則須用定冠, 復數不可數,泛指the不見(jiàn),碰到代詞時(shí),冠詞均不現。
【妙語(yǔ)詮釋】 冠詞是中考必考的語(yǔ)法知識之一,也是中考考查的主要對象。以上口訣包括的意思有:①名詞在一般情況下不單用,常常要和冠詞連用;②表示不確指的可數名詞單數前要用不定冠詞a或an,確指時(shí)要用定冠詞the;③如復數名詞表示泛指,名詞前有this,these,my,some等時(shí)就不用冠詞。
