GRAMMAR

PHẦN I: ARTICLES (MẠO TỪ)


Mạo từ trong tiếng Anh (article) là những từ thường đứng trước danh từ, dùng để người đọc
nhận biết được danh từ đó là xác định hay không xác định. Thực tế, mạo từ không phải là một
loại từ riêng biệt mà người ta chỉ xem nó như là một bộ phận của tính từ, dùng để bổ nghĩa cho
danh từ.
Mạo từ (article) được chia làm 2 loại: Mạo từ xác định (definite article) “The” và Mạo từ
không xác định (Indefinite artcile) gồm “a, an”.
Adapted by Trần Ngọc Diên Khánh – Giám đốc sản phẩm DTP Miền Trung – Mobile: 0905.384.199

A. Phân loại mạo từ


1. Mạo từ không xác định (bất định) (Indefinite article): a, an
+ “a” thường đứng trước danh từ đếm được số ít, bắt đầu bằng một phụ âm. Tuy nhiên, một số
trường hợp bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm nhưng được phát âm như phụ âm thì vẫn sử dụng “a”.
a table, a book, an egg, an apple, an hour, an MC,
a uniform/ˈjuːnəfɔːm/, a universal truth /juːnəˈvɜːsəl/, a useful tool
+ “an” thường đứng trước danh từ đếm được số ít bắt đầu bằng phụ âm (e, u, i, o, a) hoặc âm
“h” câm.
an hour (một giờ), an honest person, an apple (một quả táo)
Đọc thêm một số trường hợp ngoại lệ trong cách sử dụng a/an:
- a university (một trường đại học)
- a one-eyed man (một người đàn ông mắt chột)
- a one-way road (đường một chiều)
- an SOS (một tín hiệu cấp cứu)
- a union (một liên minh, một đồng minh)
- a unit (một đơn vị)
- a European (một người châu Âu)
- an M.A (một cử nhân)
- an honorable man (một người đáng kính)
2. Mạo từ xác định (Denfinite article): the
Được dùng trước một đối tượng xác định (cả người nói và người nghe đều biết rõ về đối tượng
đó).
Eg: The man talking to Lan is my boyfriend
Yesterday, I saw an accident here. The accident left one person injured and the
motorcycle severely damaged.
the đọc thành /ði/ khi đứng trước một danh từ bắt đầu bằng một nguyên âm hay phụ âm câm
(phụ âm h thường là một phụ âm câm như hour (giờ) phát âm là /auə/).
Eg: the hat /hæt/ nhưng the end /ði end/
