语法专题冠词-不定冠词a/an的用法

3.a和an均用于单数可数名词之前,表示一类人或事物中的“任何”一个,相当于汉语中的“一”,但不用于强调数目的概念(也就是说数的概念没有one强烈)。 We are going to have an English lesson tomorrow. I have a mouth, a nose, two eyes and two cars.

5.表示生什么病前应用a。 have a headache, have a cold

不定冠词a/an的区别
在名词前使用a或an要取决于该名词的读音。如果首字母的读音是元音因素,应用an;如果首字母的读音是辅音音素,应用a。
注意:a,e,i,o,u五个元音字母处于词首时,未必都是元音音素,u发音是[iu:]或[u]时前面用冠词a,u读[ ]时,前面用冠词an。
特别记:6个字母中开头为元音音素发音的辅音字母:f[ef],h[eit/],I[el],m[em],n[en],rla:],s[es],x[eks]
