一、 冠詞（Article）的定義

冠詞是一種虛詞，不能獨立擔任一個成分，只能附著在一個名詞上，幫助說明詞義。

英文中有兩類冠詞：

1. 定冠詞 (The Definite Article) : the

與this，that同源，表示這個（些）、那個（些），即表示一（幾）個特定的人或事物；通常讀作[e?]；單念、特別強調(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”的意思，用在可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)前；元音（實際發(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?]（表示強調(diào)時）

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

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

E.g.

Ask a girl to dance with you. 去邀請一位女孩兒和你跳舞吧。

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

E.g.

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

Can you lend me the book? 你可以借我那本書嗎？

結(jié)論：從以上兩組句子中，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)the用來表示“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，表示一類人或某種品質(zhì)
E.g.

the rich, the poor, the unemployed, the disabled; 有錢人、沒錢的人、待業(yè)人員、殘障人士the good, the beautiful, the true；真、善、美

四、專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，“國家的希望”，名詞后有of引導的限制性定語修飾。

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”雪There was a heavy rain last night.“一場”雨I'd like a large coffee, please. “一杯”咖啡

七、其它不使用冠詞的情況

1. 個體名詞抽象化后，前面不加冠詞

E.g. It's time for dinner! 個體名詞dinner被抽象化了，指“晚飯時間”I'm getting ready for college. 個體名詞college被抽象化了，指“進入大學”

2. 一些固定短語中，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)
