Chapter 02 冠词
命题趋势: 就考查题型而言,以完形和语篇填空为主。从命题意图看,以考查不定冠词a 和an 的用 法区别、不定冠词和定冠词的用法区别为主。 重难点: 1.a 和 an 的选择 2.定冠词 the 的选择
什么是冠词
冠词是虚词,不能单独使用。
冠词的分类
分为不定冠词 a/ an 、定冠词 the 和零冠词。不定冠词一般表示泛指;定冠词一般表示特指。
考点 1 不定冠词 a/ an

2. 用法:
(1) “a ”用在以辅音音素开头的字母或单词前, “an”用在以元音音素开头的字母或单词前。 ★口诀:不见元音不施 an ,不看字母看发音。
e.g. an easy going girl; an exam; an outgoing customer; an astronaut
(2) 表示“每一”的概念。( = every)
(3) 用于固定短语【记忆】 have a look 看一看 = look have a rest 休息一下 = rest have a talk 谈话 = talk
