一、冠词的概念及分类
冠词是虚词，本身不能单独使用，也没有词义，它用在名词的前面，帮助指明名词的含义。英语中的冠词有三种，一种是定冠词:the（the Definite Article），另一种是不定冠词:a, an（the Indefinite Article），还有一种是零冠词:不用冠词的情况（Zero Article）。
1.不定冠词a和an
a用于首字母为辅音发音的单词前，an用于首字母为元音发音的单词前，而不能以首字母是辅音还是元音来判断。
eg：a clever boy, a nice man（辅音字母发音为辅音）
an apple, an elephant，an island（元音字母发音为元音）
a university, a European country, an hour, an umbrella, an honest man ,a useful book（首字母与发音不一致）
2.不定冠词的用法
1）泛指某一类人、事或物；相当于any，这是不定冠词a/an的基本用法。
A horse is an animal
2）泛指某人或某物，但不具体说明何人或何物。
A girl is waiting for you.
3）表示数量，有“一”的意思，但数的概念没有one强烈。
I have a computer.
4）表示“每一”，相当于every.
I go to school five days a week.我一周上五天课。
5）用在序数词前，表示“又一”，“再一”。
I have three books. I want to buy a fourth one.
6）用在某些固定词组中：
a lot(of), after a while ,a few ,a little ,at a time ,have a swim ,have a cold ,in a hurry ,for a long time, have a good time ,have a look
