要想说一口流利而准确的英语，掌握定冠词 “the” 的使用方法非常重要。什么情况下用必须用 “the”？什么时候不能用 “the”，而要用不定冠词 “a” 或 “an”？
用法总结
Three facts about 'the'
1. We use the when referring to a specific thing and both you and the person you're talking to know which one you mean.
用 “the” 指说话双方都明确所指的人或事物。
- Please pass me the milk - we can see the bottle so we know it's that one.
2. Don't use the when talking about something in general.
非特指的一般事物或人前不加 “the”。
- I love chocolate.
3. We don't use the when it doesn't matter which thing we're talking about. We usually use a or an here.
无关紧要的、非特指的事物或人前不用 “the”, 用 “a” 或 “an”。
- Give me a cup of tea, I don't care which cup, any cup will do.
