英语冠词 归纳

. 冠词:
冠词用在名词的前面，有定冠词“the”与不定冠词“a；an”之分。定冠词表示“确指”，译作“这(那)个”；不定冠词表示“泛指”，译作“一个”。
例题解析:
( ) _____ lady over there is _____ university teacher.
A) A, the B) The, an C) The, a D) The, the
“over there”意为“那边的”，是后置定语，它表示前面名词“lady”（女士）是“确指”的说法，因此要加上定冠词“the”。后半句意为“一位大学教师”，是泛指的说法，因此要加上不定冠词“a”或“an”。由于“university”的读音起始于辅音“j”，因此要加定冠词“a”。所以本题答案应该选“C”。
( ) He prefers playing _____ piano to playing _____ hockey.
A) the, the B) the, / C) / , / D) / , the
“piano”意为“钢琴”，属于乐器，要求前面加定冠词“the”。后半句中“hockey”意为“曲棍球”，属于球类活动，要求不加任何冠词。所以本题答案应该选“B”。
( ) Mr. Black was made _____ manager of our company.
A) / B) a C) an D) the
“manager”表示被选的职位，前面不应加任何冠词。所以本题答案应该选“A”。
此外，冠词还有许多特殊的用法：
1. 由普通名词组成的专有名词前，要加定冠词，如：the Great Wall（长城）
2. 在拼音名词前，一般不加任何冠词，如：Thomas Green；Changfeng Park
3. 在江、河、湖、海前，即使是拼音名词，也要加定冠词“the”，如：the Dongting Lake
4. 一般用“单数名词加‘a’；复数名词不加‘the’”来表示“泛指”的意思。
