定冠词(the)的用法比较广泛,它既可以用在单数可数名词之前,也可以用在复数可数名词和不可数名词之前;不定冠词(a/an)的用法相对有限,仅仅可以用在单数可数名词之前。定冠词和不定冠词在遭遇单数可数名词的时候往往产生混淆。总结两者的异同看似比较简单,但在实际的语法教学活动中往往涉及诸如语境、语域和习语等方面的知识。 The thesaurus is more widely used, either before singular nouns or before plural nouns and uncountable nouns; the use of the indefinite article (a / an) is relatively limited, Can be used before singular nouns. The definite article and the indefinite article are often confused when faced with singular nouns. To sum up the similarities and differences between the two may seem relatively simple, but in practical grammar teaching activities often involve such aspects as context, register and idioms.
