a与an的用法区别a用于辅音前；an用于元音前.一般说来,元音字母发元音,辅音字母发辅音,但需请注意以下3点：1.拼写以辅音字母开头读音却以元音开头的单词hour,honest,honor等单词的拼写虽然以辅音字母h开头,但其读音却以元音开头,因此,前面要用等单词的拼写虽然以辅音字母an.可熟记下面这句话：An hour ago,an honest man accepted an honorable task.(一小时前,一位诚实的人接受了一项光荣的任务.)

2.拼写以元音字母开头读音却以辅音开头的单词

useful,university,usual,European,united,one-eyed,one-way等单词的拼写虽然以元音字母开头,但其读音却以元音开头,因此,前面要用a等单词的拼写虽然以元音字母开头,但其读音却以元.可熟记下面这句话：In a university,a European and a one-eyed man walk along a one-way road with a usual tool.This is a usual thing.(在一所大学里,有一个欧洲人和一个独眼龙拿着有用的

工具沿着一条单行道行走,这是件平常的事.)如：

Five years ago her brother was ________ university student of ________ physics.(上海卷))

A.a; the

B.an; the

C.an; /

D.a; /

【分析】答案选D.因为university是以辅音[j]开头的要用a,排除B和C；physics是学科名词,前面不用冠词.

3.英文字母前用a还是用an的问题在26个英文字母中,a,e,i,o,f,h,l,m,n,r,s,x等12个字母的读音是以元音开头的,其余字母则是以辅音开头的.如：

Please pay attention to your spelling.You have dropped ________ ”m” here.(全国卷)

A.an

B.the

C./

D.a

【分析】答案选A.因为字母答案选m的发音是以元音[e]开头的,所以用an；这里的an的意义与one相当,表示“一个”.不定冠词a(an)的用法1．表示“一”这个数量概念,比one意思稍弱

e.g.:The plan will be ready in a week or two.

2．表示某人或某物,但不具体说明哪个,相当于any

e.g.:This poem was written by a student.

注：在1,2两项中,如果名词变复数,把a换成数词或不定代词some,any等即可.

e.g.:The plan will be ready in three weeks.

3．表示某一类人或事物

e.g.:Even a child can answer this question.

注：句中名词变复数时,去掉不定冠词a/an即可.

4．和表示时间或度量衡的名词连用表示“每日”、“每斤”等

e.g.:I take a two-mile walk twice a day.

5．用于固定词组

e.g.:have/take a shower have/take a bath

take a walk give a lecture

a lot of a couple of

as a rule have a headache

a few a little a bit

6.不定冠词用于有形容词修饰的季节,日期前面
