英語語法學習:冠詞
1. 不定冠詞位置
不定冠詞常位於名詞或名詞修飾語前。
注意:
(1)位於下列形容詞之後: such,what,many,half等
例如:
I have never seen such an animal.
Many a man is fit for the job.
(2)當名詞前的形容詞被副詞as, so, too, how, however, enough修飾時,不定冠詞應放在形容詞之後。
例如:
It is as pleasant a day as I have ever spent.
So short a time.
Too long a distance.
(3)quite,rather與單數名詞連用,冠詞放在其後。
但當rather,quite 前仍有形容詞,不定冠詞放其前後均可。
例如:quite a lot
(4)在as,though 引導的讓步狀語從句中,當標語為形容詞修飾的名詞時,不定冠詞放形容詞後。
例如:
Brave a man though he is,he trembles at the sight of snakes.
他儘管勇敢,可見到蛇還是發抖。
當名詞被比較級形容詞修飾時,不定冠詞通常置於比較級形容詞之後。
2. 定冠詞位置
定冠詞通常位於名詞或名詞修飾語前,但放在all, both,double,half,twice, three times等詞之後,名詞之前。
例如:
All the students in the class went out.
