| 冠词有两种，一是不定冠词a／an，另外一种是定冠词the（有的语法学家说有三种冠词，这另外一种是零念冠词，这里我们不讨论）。
一、不定冠词及其用法
1. 可数名词在表泛指时，要加不定冠词“a／an”表示“一个”，“每一”相当于one或表示某一
2. a用在辅音音素（即音标中的辅音而不是辅音字母）之前，如a European scientist.an用在元音音素（音标中的元音而不是指元音字母）之前，如an Xray examination
3. 跟汉语一样，并列的两个单数名词表示一个概念，第二个名词前的不定冠词a可以省去，以避免重复
二、定冠词的用法
1. 一般来说，普通名词有特指和泛指，如果特指，就要加定冠词；如果泛指，可数名词前加不定冠词，或用其复数形式
2. 定冠词the主要和名词连用，表示某些特定的人或事物
3. 由of引起的限定性短语（作定语）所修饰的词前加the
4. 表示身体的某一部位，用the代替物主代词my， our， your， his， her等
5. 表示江河海洋，海峡海湾，山脉和群岛及有些湖泊之前用the
6. 定冠词the加姓氏的复数，表示某某一家人，如果做主语，谓语动词要用复数
7. 当一个抽象名词，不表示一般的概念而是表示某一特定的内容时加定冠词the
8. 由普通名词和一些其他词构成的专有名词前加the
