初中英語定冠詞知識點(一)

冠詞是虛詞，本身不能單獨使用，也沒有詞義，它用在名詞的前面幫助指明名詞的含義。冠詞分為不定冠詞a(an)和定冠詞the兩種。不定冠詞僅用在單數可數名詞前面，表示“一”的意義，但不強調數目觀念，只表示名詞為不特定者。定冠詞則表示名詞為特定者，表示“這”、“那”、“這些”、“那些”的意思，在可數的單復數名詞或不可數名詞前面都可以用。

I 不定冠詞

We need an apple and a knife.

我們需要一個蘋果和一把刀子。

1.a和an的區別

不定冠詞有a[+]和an[+Q]兩種形式，a用于輔音(不是輔音字母)開頭的詞前。an用于元音(不是元音字母)開頭的詞前。

a boy, a university, a European country

u是元音字母，但發音是[U(]，是輔音。

an hour ，an honor ，an island

h是輔音字母，但它不發音，它的音標是是元音。

an elephant， an umbrella， an egg
