冠词是虚词,本身不能单独使用,也没有词义,它用在名词的前面,帮助指明名词的含义。英语中的冠词有三种:定冠词、不定冠词、零冠词。

一、不定冠词的基本用法

不定冠词用于单数可数名词之前,其中 a 用于以辅音音素开始的词前。而 an 是用于以元音音素前等, 不是元音字母开始的词前。

如:a university,a useful tool,a computer,an orange,an hour,an 800-meter bridge

1、与可数名词单数连用,表示类别。 例如:

--I knocked over my coffee cup. It went right over the keyboard.

--You shouldn't put drinks near a computer.

2、泛指某人或某物, 表示“某一个”,相当于 a certain。 例如:

--Hello, could I speak to Mr. Smith?

--Sorry, wrong number. There isn't a Mr. Smith here.

4、用于单数可数名词之前,表示该类事物,相当于 a。例如:

5、序数词和形容词最高级前。比较级前若表示特指时也要用定冠词 the 。 例如:
