(一) 知识概要 冠词在英语中只有3个词.分为两类:不定冠词a与an.定冠词the. a用在以辅音开始的单数名词前.an用于以元音开始的单词前.不定冠词用来表示一类事物中泛指的某一事物.而定冠词则用于特指的某一个或某些事物.可用于不可数名词.可数名词单数及可数名词复数前. (二) 正误辨析 ［误］This building is an university. ［正］This building is a university. ［析］a用于以辅音音素开始的单词前.而an用于以元音音素开始的单词前.而不是元音字母开头的单词前.university的第一个音素是［j］.所以用a而不要用an.又如:There is a “n in the word.是错句.应为:There is an “n in the word.因字母n的发音的第一个音素是元音.要注意的还有hour因其第一个字母h不发音.所以应该用an hour.例如: I need an hour to finish the work. It is a useful dictionary. It is a European country. I bought a used car. ［误］I need a umbrella because it looks like raining. ［正］I need an umbrella because it looks like raining. ［析］因umbrella的第一个音素是元音.所以应用an.常用的情况有:an old man, an English teacher, an elephant, an idea, an hour ago, an honest boy-. ［误］“Can you help me “Sorry, I'm in hurry. ［正］“Can you help me “Sorry. I'm in a hurry. ［析］不定冠词的主要用法如下: 【查看更多】
