冠詞是英語中位于名詞前面的一種特殊虛詞。它不能單獨使用,只放在名詞的前面,并幫助名詞表達(dá)某種含義,故稱為冠詞。冠詞有三個,即a,an和the;冠詞分為三類,a,an被稱為不定冠詞;the被稱為定冠詞;名詞前不用冠詞時被稱為零冠詞。
冠詞通常位于名詞的前面,當(dāng)形容詞修飾名詞時,冠詞通常位于形容詞前。如:a good student一個好學(xué)生;an honest boy一個誠實的男孩;the happy family那個幸福的家庭。下列3種情況較為特殊:
(1)當(dāng)名詞被what,such,half,many修飾時,不定冠詞a或an要放在這些詞的后面。
What an interesting book it is!多么有趣的一本書??!
I have never seen such an animal.我從來沒有見過這樣的動物。
He waited there for half an hour.他在那兒等了半個小時。
Many a man is fit for the job.很多人適合該工作。
(2)當(dāng)名詞前的形容詞被副詞as,so,too,how修飾時,不定冠詞a或an要放在形容詞之后。
It is as pleasant a day as I have ever spent.這是我度過的最愉快的一天。
The teacher asked so hard a question that none of us could answer it.老師問了一個很難的問題,我們都回答不上來。
Maggie is too young a girl to be left by herself at home.瑪吉太小,不能把她單獨留在家里。
How timely a rain we've got in so dry a season!在如此干燥的季節(jié)里,這真是一場及時雨啊!
(3)當(dāng)單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞被quite,rather修飾時,不定冠詞a或an放在quite或rather之后。
She is wearing quite a beautiful sweater.她穿著一件非常好看的毛衣。
(4)當(dāng)定冠詞the與all,both,half等詞連用修飾名詞時,定冠詞應(yīng)放在這些詞之后。
All the books are written in English.所有的書都是用英語寫的。
Both the boys are interested in computer games.那兩個男孩都對電腦游戲感興趣。
