内容提要
语法是掌握英语的一个基础，打好这个基础会使你分析文章更容易，也能够写出很好的句式。冠词，是英语语法中一个重要的小词，也是一个重要的门类。
冠词（Article）是一种虚词，这词本身没有实在的意义，不能独立使用，不能独立的承担句子的成分，只能置于名词前，用来帮助说明名词所指的人或事物。它是英语词性中最小的一类，只有三个，一种是不定冠词（Indefinite Article），一种是定冠词（Definite Article），此外也有些特定场合不用冠词，即通常所称的零冠词（Zero Article）。
本书详细讲述了定冠词使用的44种情况，26种定冠词和零冠词使用情况对比；不定冠词使用的31种情况，10种不定冠词和零冠词使用情况对比；以及其他13种情况下，零冠词的使用情况。全书内容详实，讲解细致，例句丰富。掌握本书的全部内容，英语冠词的正确使用完全没问题。
冠词（Article）介绍
冠词是虚词的一种，虚词也称为结构词或封闭类词(Function Word/Structural Word/Empty Word /Closed-class Word)。除冠词外，英语中的虚词还包括：代词、介词、连词、助动词、情态动词和限定词(如this，that等)。虚词有些没有完整的词汇意义，但有语法意义和功能；虚词数量有限，比较稳定，很少增生。相比之下，英语中的实义词/开放类词(Content Word/Open-class Word)数量巨大，且仍在不断增生、扩大，不断产生新词。英语实义词都有完整的词汇意义，包括名词、主动词(如 come，take 等)、形容词和副词。数词和感叹词通常被看作次要词类(Additional Class)。
冠词置于名词之前，说明名词所指的人或物。冠词依附于名词而产生功能，不能离开名词而单独存在。
英语冠词有三种：①定冠词(definite article)→the；②不定冠词(indefinite article)→a，an；③零冠词(zero article)。
定冠词the的基本概念是“特指”，基本含义是“这个，那个”，用于专指同类中的某一人或物或专指某一类人或物。不定冠词a、an的基本概念是“非特指”，基本含义是“一，一个”，用于指某类人或物中的任何一个或某一个。零冠词是指名词前一种无形的冠词，即不用冠词的场合。在当代英语中，零冠词的使用非常广泛。它可以用于专有名词、物质名词、抽象名词、类名词以及名词化的各种词类。零冠词可用于单数名词和复数名词，既可表示专指，也可表示泛指。
一、定冠词与零冠词
the在辅音前读作[ðə]或[ð]，在元音前读作[ðI]，需要重读时，读作[ðiː]或[ðI]。the重读或为了表示强调，有“恰好的，适当的，最好的，真正的，典型的”之意，或为了加强对比，或在专有名词(如人名)前强调其特殊针对性。例如：
That's′the[ði(ː)]thing!这样正对!
There are experts in plenty，but′the[ði(ː)]expert does not exist.专家有很多，但真正的专家却一个也没有。
I don't want′the[ði(ː)]English novel，but just′an[æn]English novel.我不是一定要这本英语小说，只是随便一本英语小说。
Don't mistake Mr.Johnson for′the[ði(ː)]Mr.Johnson.不要把约翰逊先生误认为是那个大名鼎鼎的约翰逊先生。
