第二章 名詞短語(yǔ)與冠詞#
名詞短語(yǔ)
- 英語(yǔ)是拼音文字捌蚊，所以用詞尾的變化來(lái)表示單復(fù)數(shù)，在名詞短語(yǔ)的開(kāi)頭，還有一些符號(hào)來(lái)配合表示該名詞的范圍蚓聘，稱為“限定詞”
- 三部分組成：1.限定詞；2.形容詞盟劫；3.名詞夜牡。每個(gè)部分均可以省略。
什么時(shí)候不用限定詞
- 從語(yǔ)源學(xué)的角度分析侣签， 冠詞a(an) 可以視為one 的弱化的結(jié)果塘装。也就是說(shuō)a 就代表著one的意思，但是語(yǔ)氣較為弱影所。
- 除了復(fù)數(shù)以外蹦肴，抽象名詞沒(méi)有具體形狀，不能以一個(gè)來(lái)表示猴娩。物質(zhì)名詞（water阴幌， food）雖然有具體的形狀但是形狀不固定，已不能以一個(gè)來(lái)表示卷中。
專有名詞
- 人名矛双，地名等都是，因?yàn)樗鼈兯淼膶?duì)象只有一個(gè)蟆豫，不能加a
定冠詞The 的用法
從語(yǔ)源學(xué)的角度议忽，the 可視為that 或 those的弱化形式。而that或those是用來(lái)指示形容詞十减，有明確的指示功能栈幸。
凡是上下文中有明指或暗示時(shí)，也就是由“那個(gè)”的指示功能時(shí)帮辟，便要用定冠詞the
