冠词定义：冠词是虚词，本身不能单独使用，也没有词义，它用在名词前，帮助指示名词的含义分类：冠词分为不定冠词（a, an），定冠词（the），和零冠词。

I. 不定冠词的用法：口诀一名词是秃子，常要戴帽子；可数名词单，需用a 或 an；辅音前用a ，元音前用an；复数不可数泛指the不见；碰到代词时,冠词均不现.。

①名词一般情况下不单独用,常常要和冠词连用;②表示不明确指的可数名词单数前要用不定冠词 a 或 an,特指时要用定冠词the;即：可数名词单数不能单独存在，必须有限定词修饰。

③如复数名词和不可数名词表示泛指或名词前有 his, these, my, some 等限定词时就不用冠词.II. 定冠词的用法：以上口诀归纳了用定冠词的一般情况，即：①特指某些人或物②谈话双方都熟悉的人或事③上文已经提到的人或事④世界上独一无二的事物前⑤序数词和形容词最高级前⑥某些专有名词前⑦一些习惯短语（如：in the morning等）中和乐器前（如：play the violin / piano）。

III. 零冠词的用法：二、不用冠词的集中情况。

下列情况应免冠，代词限定名词前；专有名词不可数，学科球类三餐饭；复数名词表泛指，两节星期月份前；颜色语种和国名，称呼习语及头衔。

以上口诀主要概括了一般应“免冠”的几种情况，即：①名词前已有作定语用的this、that、some、any、my等限定词。

②专有名词和不可数名词前。

③表示学科的（如：maths、Chinese、physics）名词前。

④球类活动的名词前及三餐总称前。

⑤复数名词表示泛指（一类人或事）时。

⑥节日、季节、星期、月份前。

⑦表示颜色（如：It's red / yellow.）、语种（如：speak English/Japanese）和国家的非全称名词（如：We live in China. They come from America.）。
