(一) 知識(shí)概要
冠詞在英語中只有3個(gè)詞,分為兩類:不定冠詞a與an,定冠詞the。 a用在以輔音開始的單數(shù)名詞前,an用于以元音開始的單詞前。不定冠詞用來表示一類事物中泛指的某一事物,而定冠詞則用于特指的某一個(gè)或某些事物,可用于不可數(shù)名詞、可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)及可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)前。
(二) 正誤辨析
[誤]this building is an university.
[正]this building is a university.
[析]a用于以輔音音素開始的單詞前,而an用于以元音音素開始的單詞前,而不是元音字母開頭的單詞前。university的第一個(gè)音素是[j],所以用a而不要用an。又如:there is a “n” in the word.是錯(cuò)句,應(yīng)為:there is an “n”in the word.因字母n的發(fā)音的第一個(gè)音素是元音。要注意的還有hour因其第一個(gè)字母h不發(fā)音,所以應(yīng)該用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.
[誤]i need a umbrella because it looks like raining.
