前 言

冠词是英语中十分重要、意义色彩非常复杂的词，它的使用率很高，是英语中最常用的词。

传统语法将冠词分为不定冠词和定冠词两类，现代英语将冠词分为不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词三类。

冠词是一种本身不能独立使用的虚词，一般放在名词前面，帮助说明这个名词的含义。

冠词的用法有其规律性，又有其习惯性。有时必须用不定冠词，有时必须用定冠词；有时既可用不定冠词也可用定冠词；有时不用或缺省冠词；有时用或不用冠词，用不定冠词或用定冠词，意义上又差别很大。

我对英语冠词进行了深入学习和研究，归纳和总结，整理成册，与朋友们分享。

这是一本论述英语冠词的专著。讲述了不定冠词、定冠词、零冠词的用法以及冠词的省略和后置，详述了各类词语使用冠词的情形，阐述了泛指、类指、特指、独指的语言现象以及不定冠词与数词one的区别和定冠词与指示限定词的区别。努力解决现有语法书含糊不清的地方，帮助深层次了解冠词的使用，解决冠词使用和考试中出现的疑难问题。特别适合中学生学习英语冠词时使用，尤其适合英语老师教授英语冠词时参考，也可供英语爱好者以及专家学者遇到冠词使用的疑难问题时查阅。
