新概念英語第二冊語法精解：冠詞
冠詞是一種虛詞，放在名詞的前面，幫助說明名詞的含義。冠詞分不定冠詞(The Indefinite Article)和定冠詞(The definite Article)兩種。a (an) 是不定冠詞，a用在輔音之前：如a book, a man; an用在元音之前，如：an old man, an hour, an interesting book等。the是定冠詞。
一、不定冠詞的用法
1、指人或事物的某一種類(泛指)。這是不定冠詞a (an)的基本用法。如：She is a girl. I am a teacher. Please pass me an apple.
2、指某人或某物，但不具體說明何人或何物。如：He borrowed a story-book from the library.
A Wang is looking for you. 一位姓王的同志正在找你。
3、表示數(shù)量，有“一”的意思，但數(shù)的概念沒有one強烈。如：
