定義冠詞、限定詞和量詞是指放在名詞前面並修飾名詞的字眼:the teacher, a college, a bit of honey, that person, those people, whatever purpose, either way, your choice有時候這些字是在告訴讀者或聽者我們到底是在指特定的事物還是指一般的事物 (a barn, the garage out back);有時候它們是在告訴讀者或聽者數目多少或多少量 (lots of trees, several books, a great deal of confusion)。對以英語為母語的寫作者來說,如何適當地挑選名詞或名詞片語前面的冠詞或限定詞,通常不是問題;但對非英語系國家 (尤其是東歐及亞洲國家) 的寫作者而言,這可能是他們邁向精通英語之路的一大障礙。事實上,許多非英語系國家的寫作者往往在英文其他各個層面駕輕就熟多年之後,仍然被這些「輕薄短小」的字搞得一個頭兩個大。 你可以在閱讀量詞之前先賭冠詞為快。 量詞 與冠詞一樣,量詞 (quantifiers) 也是放在名詞前面並修飾名詞的字。它們告訴我們「多少」(how many or how much)。如何挑選正確的的量詞,端視你對可數名詞與不可數名詞之區別的瞭解程度而定。我們以可數名詞 trees 和不可數名詞 dancing 來做說明: 下列量詞用在可數名詞: |
many trees |
not much dancing |
all of the trees/dancing |
|
|
|
| 注意!即使在你學會了這些冠詞的所有應用規則之後,你仍會發現有許多情況你不知道在何處使用正確的冠詞或是否使用冠詞。Icy highways are dangerous. The icy highways are dangerous. 兩句都正確。 |
The moon circles the earth.當名詞指的是理論上的事物時, 我們須使用 the:
The United States has encouraged the use of the private automobile as opposed to the use of public transit.當名詞指的是文章中先前已提到的事物時, 我們須使用 the (參見下面的首次提及與後續的提及)。
A newspaper has an obligation to seek out and tell the truth.然而,在後續提到這份報紙時,我們要使用定冠詞:
There are situations, however, when the newspaper must determine whether the public's safety is jeopardized by knowing the truth.再舉一例:
"I'd like a glass of orange juice, please," John said.例外的情況:當有個修飾語出現在冠詞與名詞之間時,後續的冠詞將繼續是不定冠詞:
"I put the glass of juice on the counter already," Shiela replied.
"I'd like a big glass of orange juice, please," John said.總稱 (generic) 的提及:我們可以使用三個冠詞中的任一個來提及某事物的總稱。完全省略冠詞也可以表達相同的意思。
"I put a big glass of juice on the counter already," Shiela replied.

| 使用 be 和 go 的成語 | We'll go by train. (相對於 "We'll take the train.) He must be in school. |
| 社會或教育事業機構 | He's in church/college/jail/class. |
| 季節 | In spring, we like to clean the house. |
| 三餐 | Breakfast was delicious. He's preparing dinner by himself. |
| 疾病 | He's dying of pneumonia. Appendicitis nearly killed him. She has cancer (你有時會聽到或看到 "the measles" 和 "the mumps",但這些複數型當單數用的疾病名稱也可以不加冠詞。) |
| 時間 | We traveled mostly by night. We'll be there around midnight. |
