英文~ 個"the" 字 唔駛用

Question

我英文作文, 有時加了 the 老師又幫我刪左去‧
有時冇the, 老師又加~

究竟個the 點用?????

Answer 1

”the" 其實係一個 "定冠詞" definite article

佢既用法比起 a 同 an 呢 d 不定冠詞 indefinite article 更複雜

可能咁講會難明 d，所以就講下一般學生作文時候既用法



1) 用來提及前文中已提過的名詞 noun

例如你提過 " I saw an apple." 你之後想講返個蘋果，就可以話 "The apple is rotten. (個蘋果係爛既)"

如果你前文都只係寫緊個 apple 而無其他死物，你大可以唔用 " the apple" 而用 "it"，咁即係話如果你提過多過一樣野，而呢 d 野用第三人稱講既時候都係同一類，就要加 "the" 係你想講果樣野既前面。

例如："I ate an apple and a banana for my lunch, but the apple is rotten. (我食左個蘋果同隻蕉做午餐，但個蘋果係爛既)"


2) 即使前文你無提過，有時你都要用 "the"。呢 d 情況多數係你講既事物係顯而易見，唔需要提及人地都會明既。

例如："Can you close the door for me please?(你可以幫我關門嗎？)"


3)有特定條件而又無係前文提及的事物，都要加 "the"

例如："The man who has a gun in his hand is my father. (手渣住支槍果個男人係我老豆)"


4) "the" 可以用來形容訴一個事物，或者係呢個事物既總稱

例l："the robbers" 就係話 d 賊肯定係多過一個
但係 "the robber" 唔一定指個賊得一個，呢個要視乎文章內容而定

5) 特有既名詞，例如美國，英文應該係 "The United States", "The States", "The U.S."；又例如黃河應該係 "the Yellow River"，無個 "the" 係錯的!!

6)係比較式裡面，最高級既要加 "the" 係形容詞前面

例："My score is higher than yours.(我 d 分高過你)" 呢個係第 2 級，唔駛加

"My score is the highest in my class. (我既分數係全班最高)" 呢個就係最高級，要加 "the" 係形容詞前面

7) 有時加 "the"....係無得解的! 唔係講笑，因為呢 d 係約定俗成....

例如講時間會話 " in the evening"，"in the morning"

例如講方向就係 "...in the South", "...in the North"

*以上都係我自己所知既，d 例子全部都係我諗既，係 100% 原創! 雖然我唔係讀大學英文系，而且可能表達得唔係幾好，但希望我可以幫到你! ^^
