答:英語限定詞位於名詞前,對名詞起著特指、泛指或表示數量等限定的作用。
可以作為限定詞的是能夠對名詞起限定作用的冠詞、形容詞性物主代詞、形容詞性指示代詞、名詞屬格、數詞或量詞等。
英語中常用的限定詞主要有:a, an, the, this,that, these, those, every, all,some, any, both, many, much, (a) few, ( a) little, either, neither, (the)other, another, several, one( two, three, etc。),first( etc。), the next, the last, my( your, her, Mary‘s,etc。), what,which whose, etc。
限定詞可以用來修飾可數名詞單數、複數,也可以修飾不可數名詞。例如:
the West Lake, another chance, the sixth term, John’s father, eleven days, etc。
Fourty-five members, some red apples, quite a few close friends, those young trees, etc。
Not any bread, fair trade, the newest law, a glass of water, some orange juice, etc。
