Determiners

定冠词位于名词或名词短语之前，表示名词是特定的还是一般的。

定冠词和不定冠词

冠词的作用就像句子中的形容词。英语中有三个冠词： "a"、 "an"和 "the"。 "A" 和 "an"是不定冠词，”the“是定冠词。

定冠词

定冠词“the”用于主题独特、具体的或之前已提及的情况。

我们也在以下情况中使用定冠词：

• 在著名建筑之前

• 姓氏之前

• 在包含"republic"、 "kingdom"或 "states"字样的国家名之前

• 在具有复数名称的国家名之前

• 在十年期之前

• 地理区域之前

• 在最高级和序数之前

示例:

不定冠词

不定冠词“a”和”an“用于第一次提及的事物以及一个类或组的特定成员。当后面的单词以辅音开头时使用“a”，以元音开头时使用“an”。

我们也在以下情况中使用不定冠词：

• 有某事

• 职务名

• 国籍

• 教派

• 一个例子

• 在"what" 和 "such"之后

示例:
