  冠词是一种虚词,放在名词的前面,帮助说明名词的含义。冠词分不定冠词(The Indefinite Article)和定冠词(The Definite Article)两种。a (an)是不定冠词,a用在辅音之前,如a book, a man; an用在元音之前,如an old woman, an hour等。the是定冠词。
  1.不定冠词的用法
  1)指人或事物的某一种类。这是不定冠词a(an)的基本用法。例如:
  I am a boy.
  Pass me an apple, please.
  2)指某人或某物,但不具体说明何人或何物。例如:
  A boy is waiting for you.
  He borrowed a story-book from the library.
  3)表示数量,有“一”的意思,但数的概念没有one强烈。例如:
  I have a mouth, a nose and two eyes.
  警示 在“a…or two”结构中,a虽然表示“一”,但不能换成one。例如:
  a day or two一两天。
  4)用于某些固定词组中。例如:
  a bit, a few, a little, a lot of, a piece of, a cup of, a glass of, a pile of。
  2.定冠词的用法
  1)特指某(些)人或某(些)事物。这是定冠词the的基本用法。例如:
  Beijing is the capital of China.
  The book on the desk is mine.
  (特指桌上的那本书。注意名词book被短语on the desk所限定。)
  2)指谈话双方都知道的人或事物。例如:
  Where is the teacher? (双方都知道指的是哪一位教师。)
  Open the window, please. (双方都知道指的是哪一扇窗。)
  3)指上文提过的人和事物。例如:
  There was a chair by the window. On the chair sat a young woman with a baby in her arms; the baby was thin.
  4)用在世界上独一无二的事物前。例如:
  The earth is bigger than the moon, but smaller than the sun.
  5)用在序数词和形容词最高级前。例如:
  Mr Green taught the first class.
  Alice is the tallest in her class.
  6) 用在某些专有名词前。例如:the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the History Museum, the Science Museum, the Capital Stadium, the Children’s Palace, the East Street Hospital, the Party。
  警示 “某些专有名词”指的是由普通名词构成的专有名词,独立的专有名词如France, South Korea则属于“不用冠词”的第一条。
  7)用在一些习惯用语中。例如:in the day, in the morning (afternoon, evening), the day after tomorrow, the day before yesterday, the next morning, by the way。
  3.下列情况中一般不用冠词
  1)在专有名词和不可数名词前。例如:China, Grade Two, Class Three, science, chalk, ink, paper, water, tea, milk。
  2)名词前已有作定语用的this, that, my, your, some, any等代词。例如:
  The letter is in her basket.
  Go down this street.
  3)复数名词表示一类人或事物时。例如:
  My father and mother are teachers.
  She likes reading stories.
  4)在节日、日期、月份、季节前。例如:
  Today is New Year’s Day.
  It is Sunday(Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
  March 8 is Women’s Day.
  It is cold in winter.
  注意 “春节”是the Spring Festival, 前面一般要加the。
  5)在称呼语或表示头衔的名词前。例如:
  What’s the matter, Granny?
  This is Comrade Wang.
  6)在某些习惯用语中的名词前。例如:at noon, at night, at first, at last, by bus, in bed, in time, in front of, go to school, go to bed。
  7)在三餐和球类运动名称前。例如:
  He goes to school after breakfast.
  We are going to play football.
