What Is An Article
An article is a little word that come A & An
before a noun (a person, place, or The words a and an are called general
thing). English articles include a, (or indefinite) articles. You can use
an, and the. them with singular nouns to talk
冠词是位于名词(人、地方或 about any single person or thing.
事物)前的一个小词。英语冠 单词a和an被称为不定冠词。你可
词包括a、an和the。 以将它们放在单数名词前面一起
用来谈论任何一个人或事物。
A
Simply speaking, when we see a 简单地说,当我们第一次看到一个单
single person or thing for the first 数的人或物的时候,比如一天我们走
time, i.e. “tiger”, we might say 在路上,突然看到前面有头老虎,我
们可能会说“来了一头老虎”。“一”这
“Here comes a tiger.” 个词就是a/an。当然后面我们会学到
数词one,它也表示“一”,主要在数学
Here comes 计算的时候使用。
a tiger!
a tiger
These are singular nouns with “a”.
a boy a man a girl
An
We use “an” before words beginning with vowel sounds
(mostly a, e, i, o, u). For example, say: an axe/an igloo/an
egg/an orange/an envelope an umbrella/an ice cream/an
uncle
我们在以元音开头的单词之前使用“an”(主要是a、
e、i、o、u开头的单词)。例如: 斧头/冰屋/鸡蛋/桔
子/信封/雨伞/冰淇淋/叔叔
An
We use an (not a) before these words that begin with h
(because the letter h is silent):
an heir
an honor
an hour
我们在这些以h开头的单词之前使用an(而不是a)
(因为字母h是不发音的):
一个继承人
一种荣誉
一个小时
A
But some words don’t follow this rule. 但有些词不符合这个规则。
For example, use a (not an) before 例如,在这些以u开头的单
these words that begin with u 词之前使用a(而不是an)
(because u here doesn’t make a vowel (因为这里的u不发元
sound): 音):
a uniform 一件制服
a university 一所大学
a unicorn 一头独角兽
