冠词
1. 冠词的分类
冠词在名词前,冠词可以分成两类:不定冠词a(n)和定冠词the。
不定冠词,一般放在单数可数名词前。
a用于以辅音音素,包括半元音音素/j/、/w/(注意:不是辅音字母)开头的词。
an用于以元音音素(不是元音字母)开头的词。
比如:a university一所大学
a horse一匹马
a C一个C
a European country一个欧洲国家
an uncle一位叔叔
an hour一小时
an M一个M
an English book一本英语书
1.1不定冠词 类别的表示
(1)不定冠词用于单数可数名词前,表示一类人或者物,含义相当于一类中的任何一个,也可以用不带冠词的复数名词表示。
比如:
①男孩不总是比女孩聪明。
A boy is not always cleverer than a girl. Boys are not always cleverer than girls
定冠词用于单数可数名词前,也可以表示类别,强调整个类别。
比如:②Edison had thousands of inventions, and the electric light
was one of them.
爱迪生有几千项发明,电灯是其中之一。
③The computer is important in modern society.
电脑在现代社会中很重要。
(2)不定冠词,经常用于名词前表示身份,特别是用于作表语或者补足语的名词前,而在其相应的复数名词前刚不用冠词。
比如:①“Are you a new comer?”he asked.
“你是新来的?”他问。
②He is not a university teacher, but a high school teacher.
他不是大学教师,而是个中学教师。
③John wanted his sons to be engineers.
约翰要他的儿子们都成为工程师。
(3)表示某人的职务或者头衔前,经常不用冠词。
比如Bill, monitor of our class, is good to every one of his classmates.
比尔,我们班的班长,对他的每位同学都很好。

1. 特指
定冠词用在名词前,用来专指某一或者某些特定的人或者物,称为特指;而不定冠词或者名词前不用冠词,表示一类人或者物,或者是一类中的任何一个,称为泛指。
比如:①What about a picnic \in the park tomorrow?
明天去公园野餐的食品足够了吗?(泛指)
②Have you got enough food for the picnic tomorrow?
你们明天野餐的食品足够了吗?(特指)
当名词被所带的修饰语限定表示特指意义,前面必须有定冠词;比如:①Most boys and girls like pop songs.
大多数孩子喜欢流行歌曲。
②The pop songs they are singing are beautiful.
他们唱的流行歌曲很优美。
③I am out of bread.I’ll go and buy some.
我吃完面包了。我要去买一些。
④The bread on the table has gone bad.
桌子上的面包变质了。 物质名词和抽象名词表示一般概念时,仅有泛指意义,前面一般不用冠词,但表示特指意义,尤其被修饰语加以限定时,前面必须用定冠词。
比如:①We love snow very much. 我们非常喜爱雪。
②The snow was thick on the road. 路上雪很厚。
③Music in films is usually beautiful. 电影中的音乐通常很动听。
④I like the music of the film. 我喜欢这部电影的音乐。
但如果名词的修饰仅说明名词的类别,不具有限定作用,则名词前仍用不定冠词。
比如:a map of China中国地图
a map of the world世界地图

was bought by my grandfather thirty years ago.
这是一幢房子的照片。我家居住在这幢房子里。这幢房子是我祖父三十年前买下的。
