不定冠詞與定冠詞辨析歸納
表示樂器的名詞前一般用定冠詞the,但前面如果出現(xiàn)定語修飾,也可能用不定冠詞a,an。例如:
He starts his day by playing the violin
He is playing a borrowed violin
表示語言的名詞前一般不用冠詞,但后面如果出現(xiàn)language一詞,前面需加定冠詞the。例如:
English=the English language; French=the French language
介詞與表示交通工具的名詞連用表示籠統(tǒng)的方式,前面一般不用冠詞,但如果名詞的前面出現(xiàn)了修飾語,前面需加冠詞。例如:
He went to the station by car.
He went to the station in a black car/in his car.
turn用作系動詞時,后面作表語的單數名詞前不用冠詞。例如:
He turned writer many years later.
He became a writer many years later.
表示世界上無二的事物的名詞前一般加定冠詞the;但如果名詞前有修飾語,也可能用不定冠詞a,an。例如:
the world,a peaceful world,the moon,a bright moon
表示一日三餐的名詞前面一般不用冠詞,但前面如果有定語修飾,也可能用不定冠詞a,an。例如:
Have you had supper?
We had a wonderful supper.
特別提示注意下面三種情況:
①拼寫以輔音字母開頭卻發(fā)元音音素的單詞用an;例如以下單詞:hour,honest,honor等。
?、谠谝韵掠⑽淖帜盖坝胊n:a,e,j,o,f,h,l,m,n,r,s,x。因為這12個字母是以元音音素開頭的。例如:You have dropped an“m”in the word climb.
③拼寫以元音字母開頭,拼讀卻以輔音音素開頭的單詞用a,例如以下單詞:useful,university,usual,European,united,one-eyed,one-way等。
