一、基本用法及规律
冠词是一种虚词,本身不能独立充当句子成分,只能附着在一个名词上面帮助说明名词含义。英语中冠词分为两类:定冠词(the Definite Article)和不定冠词(the Indefinite Article)。不定冠词有两种形式:a (用在以辅音音素开头单词前),an (用在以元音音素开始单词前)。定冠词就是the。一般说来,普通名词有特指和泛指两种情况,特指时候一般用到定冠词,而泛指时候则一般用到不定冠词。具体情况可以用以下表格说明:
可数名词单数 可数名词复数 特指 the computer the computers 泛指 表示类别 a computer ( 零冠词) 表示“一个(些)” a computer some computers - 21 - / 50
computers 不可数名词 the money (零冠词)money some money I would like to buy new mobile phone. (new 前应加a) The wheat is grown in the north of China. (wheat 前不加the) 对于乐器,常用“定冠词+ 可数名词单数”表示泛My brother would like to learn 指; piano. (piano 前应加the) 在球类运动、棋类游戏和竞赛技能等名词前则不要加 冠词。 He was paid by hour. (hour 前应加the) 当表示“每”、“每一”概念时,单位名词前要加 定冠词。 不可数名词表示泛指时,前不加冠词。 单数可数名词通常都需要加冠词。 The all trees have lost their leaves.当定冠词及all, both, half, much 等连用时,要放 ( the 应该放在all 后面) 在其后面,但及whole 连用时要放在whole 前面。 The Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 一般情况下专有名词前不加冠词,但也有一些情况is based in Shenzhen. (Huawei 前the应删掉)
Step 4: Writing
1. Writing for General Purposes: Effective Sentences:To be effective, a sentence must at least possess these qualities: correctness (准确), unity (完整) and conciseness (简洁). Correctness: a sentence should have a subject (主语) and a predicative verb (谓语动词) and it should begin with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. Example 1 Incorrect: The result being that he can stay.
要 加冠词。 - 22 - / 50
Correct: The result is that he can stay.
Unity: a sentence should express a single complete idea. Example 2 Poor: Born in South Africa, he later became a great explorer.
Improved: Born in a family of explorers, he later became a great explorer. Conciseness: Use only the necessary words, or as few words as possible so long as the meaning is fully expressed. Example 3 Wordy: Students in the present time have to work to pay for college. Improved: Today, students have to work to pay for college. Step 5 Revision Step 6 H.w

Writing for General Purposes:
Coordination(并列结构)& Subordination(从属结构)
Before doing the exercise, read the guidelines to writing skills in the following box, as this may be of some help to you. Writing Strategy
Simple sentences are easy to write; however, a piece of writing is disconnected when it is full of simple sentences. One way to achieve good writing is through coordination and subordination.
Coordination is joining two or more ideas in one sentence by coordinating conjunctions (并列连词: but, or, nor, for, so, yet, and) to create equal emphasis. Example 1
Simple sentences: It started to rain. We went home instead of to the theatre.
Coordinated: It started to rain, so we went home instead of to the theatre Homeworl:finish the task. Part E
