一、 冠詞（Article）的定義

冠詞是一種虛詞，不能獨(dú)立擔(dān)任一個(gè)成分，只能附著在一個(gè)名詞上，幫助說(shuō)明詞義。

英文中有兩類(lèi)冠詞：

1. 定冠詞 (The Definite Article) : the

與this，that同源，表示這個(gè)（些）、那個(gè)（些），即表示一（幾）個(gè)特定的人或事物；通常讀作[e?]；單念、特別強(qiáng)調(diào)或在元音前讀作[ei]

E.g. Who is the[ei] author of the[e?] book?

2. 不定冠詞 (The Indefinite Article): a和an

與數(shù)次one同源，表示“一般情況下的一個(gè)”的意思，用在可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)前；元音（實(shí)際發(fā)音，不指元音字母）前用an 英式發(fā)音[?n]/美式發(fā)音[?n]；其他情況用a [?]/[e?]（表示強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)）

E.g. She is a[?] Chinese lady, with an[?n]/[?n] Irish husband.

二、在“冠詞”的定義中說(shuō)到了，它用來(lái)幫助名詞說(shuō)明詞義，即名詞的“特指”和“泛指”兩種情況

E.g.

Ask a girl to dance with you. 去邀請(qǐng)一位女孩兒和你跳舞吧。

Ask the girl to dance with you. 去邀請(qǐng)那位女孩和你跳舞吧。

E.g.

Can you lend me a book to read? 你可以借我一本書(shū)讀讀嗎？

Can you lend me the book? 你可以借我那本書(shū)嗎？

結(jié)論：從以上兩組句子中，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)the用來(lái)表示“特指”；a和an表示“泛指”。

練一練：

A: What did you do yesterday?

B: I saw ______ movie.

A: How do you like it?

B: ______ movie was good, but ______ popcorn at the cinema did not taste good.

(a, The, the)

三、定冠詞the 的特殊用法，即和某些形容詞連用，表示一類(lèi)人或某種品質(zhì)
E.g.

the rich, the poor, the unemployed, the disabled; 有錢(qián)人、沒(méi)錢(qián)的人、待業(yè)人員、殘障人士the good, the beautiful, the true；真、善、美

四、專(zhuān)有名詞前一般不加冠詞

E.g. I'm from Shanghai. Today is Tuesday. He graduated from Peking University. Christmas is on December 25th.
（也有加the的情況，如the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese Valentine’s Day, the Spring Festival等，注意積累） 另外，有普通名詞的構(gòu)成的專(zhuān)有名詞前多要加the

E.g. the People's Republic of China, the United States, the University of Washington, the New York Times. (也有不加the的情況，如 Buckingham Palace, China Daily等，注意積累)
五、抽象名詞前一般不加冠詞

E.g. I'm interested in art.I find joy in learning a foreign language.I'm learning English for self-improvement. 特殊情況

E.g. You were a great help to us. “一次”幫助。The younger generation is the hope of the nation. 特指，“國(guó)家的希望”，名詞后有of引導(dǎo)的限制性定語(yǔ)修飾。

六、物質(zhì)名詞前一般不加冠詞

E.g. It's made of gold. We can't live without air. Vegetarians don't eat meat. Do you prefer tea or coffee? 特殊情況

E.g. Traffic was affected by the snow. “那場(chǎng)”雪There was a heavy rain last night.“一場(chǎng)”雨I'd like a large coffee, please. “一杯”咖啡

七、其它不使用冠詞的情況

1. 個(gè)體名詞抽象化后，前面不加冠詞

E.g. It's time for dinner! 個(gè)體名詞dinner被抽象化了，指“晚飯時(shí)間”I'm getting ready for college. 個(gè)體名詞college被抽象化了，指“進(jìn)入大學(xué)”

2. 一些固定短語(yǔ)中，名詞前不加the

E.g. make fun of, from beginning to end, year after year 等等

3. 表示季節(jié)、月份、日期的名詞前一般不加冠詞

E.g. noon, midnight, sunset, sunrise 這類(lèi)名詞前也不加冠詞，如at noon/midnight；但weekend, morning, afternoon, evening 前通常加the，如on the weekend, in the morning 等

練一練：

Filling Blanks:

This is _______ uninteresting book. I've read it for_______ hour. (an, an) I often watch _______ TV in _______ evening. (the)_______ doctor told him to take _______ medicine three times _______ day. (The, the, a)
