duang duang duang~托福写作小课堂开讲啦~今天小编要讲的是:想当学霸的人,不能放过任何一个知识点。SO,我们去看看“the”的用法。虽然它只是一个定冠词,但它在考试中的重要性可不容小觑!
1.定冠词限定名词时主要表示特指,针对TOEFL应注意以下几点:
(1) the和可数名词单数连用,表示一类人或物,如:

the first woman, the nineteenth century
但前面有物主代词时除外,如 my first baby

the largest city, the most advanced technology

the globe(地球),the equator(赤道), the moon, the sun
2.在下列情况下,一般不用the:

Dennis Chavez(人名),Alaska(地名),English(英语), February(二月), America(美国)
但是在表示海洋、海峡、江、河、山脉、群岛等专有名词时要加上the
the Great Lakes(美国五大湖), the Changjiang River(长江)
(2) 无特指的不可数名词前,如:
algebra(代数学), advertising, accounting(会计学)
(3) 表示类别的复数名词前,如:
Historians believe that…, Amphibians(两栖动物) hatch from…
(4) 一些固定词组中,如:

乘车的词组:
