冠词的定义和分类
冠词是一种虚词,放在名词或名词词组的前面,帮助说明名词的数量、特征或含义。冠词可以说是名词的一种标志,它不能脱离名词而独立存在。冠词分为不定冠词a, an和定冠词the。
【不定冠词a, an的用法】

用法 举例
(1)用于第一次提到的人或物,起介绍作用 He has a piano and the piano is beautiful.
(2)指某一类人或事物 A train runs faster than a bike. =Trains run faster than bikes.
(3)用于表示数量“一”,泛指一个人或事物 A boy is singing in the next room.
(4)用在序数词之前,表示“又一 ,再一” He failed twice, but he wanted to try a third time. You’ll have to do it a second time.
(5)用于某些固定词组中
a few 一些;少数几个 give sb. a hand 给某人帮助a little 一点,少量 have a cold 感冒a bit of 有一点儿 have a good time 玩得高兴;过得愉快a kind of 一种;一类 have a match 比赛a lot of 许多;大量;很多 have/ hold a meeting 开会a number of 一些;许多 have a rest 休息a pair of 一对;一幅 have a swim 游泳a piece of 一块(张、片……) have a talk 谈话once upon a time 很早以前;从前 have a walk 散步at a bad time of year 在一年中的不好时节 make a mistake 出差错just a moment 等一下 take a boat 坐船in a minute 一会儿,立刻 take a bus 坐公共汽车a moment later 片刻之后 take a rest 休息go (out) for a walk (出去)散步 take a seat 坐下; 就坐give sb. a call 给某人打电话 get a fever 发烧
知识点二:不定冠词a或an的用法
在名词前使用a或an取决于该名词的读音。如果该名词首字母的读音是辅音音素,则在名词前加a,如:a room, a red apple, a useful book;如果首字母的读音是元音音素,则在名词前加an,an egg, an old man, an hour。
注意:在判断一个词是元音开头还是辅音开头时,要注意是根据其读音,而不是根据字母。a, e, i,o, u五个元音字母处于词首时,只有以a或i开头的名词前一定用an,以e, o,u开头的名词则未必都是元音音素。
以a开头 an apple, an artist, an aunt, an Asian country, an American girl
以e开头 a European country
an egg, an English book, an eight-year-old boy, an 11-year-old boy, an excuse
