2.不定冠词an常用于元音发音开头的词前,如:an hour,an English car. 请区别:a useful machine
3.指上文提到过的人或物,用定冠词the
4.在世界上独一无二的事物前用定冠词the.如:the sun,the moon,the earth
5.定冠词the用于序数词前,表示方位的名词和形容词最高级前。如:the first,the best ,in the south

7.在介词短语中常用定冠词the,如:in the box ,behind the chair
8.特别注意不能用定冠词the的几个方面:
(1)在节日、星期、月份、季节、年等词前不用冠词。如:in summer,in August
请区别:in the spring of 1945. (这里表示特指,故加the)
(2)一日三餐和球类运动名不用冠词。 如:have breakfast ,play football
