  在《定冠词省不得》一文里,谈到了 5 个必须用定冠词的例子。

  定冠词也出现在其他 11 种情况中,非同时注意不可。

  ⑴用在单数名词前面,以代表同类的人或物,如:
   ● The ox is a useful animal for farmers.
   ● This type of work is easier for the teacher than for the student.

  但当涉及 man 和 woman 这两个名词时,一般上不必用 the :
   ● Man is mortal.
   ● Woman differs from man in many ways.

  ⑵用在单数名词前面来表示有关名词的抽象概念,如:
   ● Dont play the fool.
   ● Peter is fond of the bottle.

  ⑶用在数目字前面,如:
   ● Mr Li is somewhere in the 30s.
   ● She was not yet born in the 50s.

  ⑷用在测量单位前面,以表示“每”(each/per),如:
   ● Some factory workers are paid by the hour.
   ● This car usually does 15 kilometres to the litre.

  ⑸用在比较级形容词或副词之前,以加强其意义,如:
   ● The teacher explained the idea again, but his students were none the wiser.
   ● Your mind will function all the better if you have some time away from your work.

  ⑹用在“the more/better……the more/better……”结构里,如:
   ● The more we practise, the more we improve.
   ● The better the staff, the better the performance.

  ⑺用在乐器名称之前,如:
   ● The piano sounds better than the organ.

  ⑻用在剧院、电影院之前,如:
   ● Do you often go to the cinema?
   ● Tom went to the Lido last week.

  ⑼用在四个方向之前,如:
   ● The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

  ⑽用在复数姓氏之前,以表示有关家人,如:
   ● The Browns will visit us tonight.

  ⑾用在某些惯用语之前,如:
   ● We know the ins and outs of the matter.
   ● Compare the pros and cons before you make your decision.
