冠词在英语中起到了什么作用?为什么要有冠词?
小冠词,大作用

对于众多英语学习者而言,可能时态、语态和数之不尽的英语词汇是大家学习的难点.恐怕很少会有人去深究冠词.然而冠词在英语中的地位是牢不可破的,少了它就乱套了!

我们来看几组跟冠词有着千丝万缕联系的词组

1. in possession of… & in the possession of…
拥有、占有之意,两个短语唯一的区别就是一个the.in possession of…应使用人作为句子的主语,而in the possession of…则要使用物作为主语,of后跟someone.
例句:
He was caught in possession of a gun and some drugs.
那个嫌疑犯被逮住的时候被发现携有一支枪和一些毒品.
这句话也可以转换为A gun and some drugs were in the possession of the suspect when he was caught.

2. in charge of… & in someone's charge
管理、负责之意.这组短语和第一组类似,主语是人还是物,大家一定要留心.
例句:
He was selected to be in charge of the new department. 他被选做这个新部门的负责人.
The new department was in the manager's charge since it was founded. 这个新部门成立时就是由经理来负责的.

3. in fashion & in a fashion
in fashion意为正在流行,相关短语还有come into fashion开始流行、bring…into fashion使某物流行.
例句:
Jeans are still in fashion this year. 今年牛仔裤仍旧十分流行.
若是在中间加了冠词a,意思可就截然不同了.in a fashion意为勉强、马马虎虎,和after a fashion意思相同.
例句:Jennifer told me she could play tennis in a fashion/after a fashion.
珍妮弗告诉我她网球打得马马虎虎.
