a/an不用在以下几种情况下:
A 复数名词之前:
a/an没有复数形式,所以a dog的复数是dogs,an egg的复数是eggs。
B 不可数名词之前(参见第13节):
C 三餐名称之前,但这些名称前加形容词时除外:
We have breakfast at eight.
我们8点钟吃早饭。
He gave us a good breakfast.
他请我们吃了一顿丰盛的早餐。
为了庆祝某事或特意为某人而举行的宴会之前要用冠词:
I was invited to dinner(at their house, in the ordinary way).
他们邀请我吃饭(在他们家吃便饭)。
但是说:
I was invited to a dinner given to welcome the new ambassador.
我被邀请参加欢迎新任大使的宴会。
A a/an和one(形容词)
1 计算时间、测量距离或重量等时,a/an或one可以用于单数的前面:
£l=a/one pound一英镑
£ 1,000,000= a/one million pounds 100万英镑
(参见第三十六章。)
但是,请注意:
The rent is £ 100 a week.
房租为每星期100英镑。
这个句子中week前面的a不能用one代替。(参见第2节F。)
在其他类型的陈述句中a/an和one通常不能互换,因为one+名词通常意为 one only/not more than one(只有一个),而a/an则没有这个意思:
A shotgun is no good.
猎枪不行。(这种武器不合适。)
One shotgun is no good.
一枝猎枪不行。(我需要两枝或三枝。)
2 one的特殊用法
(a) one(形容词/代词)与 another/others对照连用:
One(boy)wanted to read,another/others wanted to watch TV.一个(男孩)想看书,另一个/别的男孩们想看电视。(参见第53节。)
One day he wanted his lunch early, another day he wanted it late.
他一天要早点吃午饭,另一天又要晚点吃午饭。
(b) one可以用在 day/week/month/year/summer/winter等词之前,或者用在日期或月份的名称之前,以特指某事发生的时间:
One night there was a terrible storm.
一天晚上有一场特大的风暴。
One winter the snow fell early.
有一年冬天雪下得早。
On e day a telgram arrived.
有一天来了一封电报。
(c) one day也可用来表示 at some future date(将来有一天):One day you’ll be sorry you treated him so badly.(这里也可用someday。)
终有一天你会因为待他这么不好而后悔的。
(关于one和you,参见第68节。)
B a/an和one(代词)
one是可以用来代替a/an的相应的代词形式:
-Did you get a ticket?
-Yes,I managed to get one.
-你搞到票了吗?
-是的,我设法搞到了一张。
具有这种用法的one的复数形式是some:
-Did you get tickets?
-Yes,I managed to get some.
-你搞到票了吗?
-是的,我设法搞了几张。

【考点说明】
1. 用 a 还是用an:一般说来,在辅音或半元音开头的词前用a,而在元音开头的词前用an。注意:有些以元音字母开头的单词,由于第一个音不是元音而是辅音,其前仍用a而不用an。
2. 单数可数名词若泛指,其前需加 a / an,不要从汉语习惯出发,漏掉此不定冠词,如不能说Her father is famous film poet.(应在is加a)
3.不能与指示代词、物主代词、名词所有格等连用,如不说 my a good friend,可改说 a good friend of mine。

元音字母是指语言里起着发声作用的字母,是为元音字母。元音又作“元音”在拉丁字母中,a、e、i、o、u通常都是元音字母.
辅音字母是一个和元音字母相对的条目,所有非元音字母的,就是辅音字母.
音素:人说话的声音是由若干单个的音组成的,即使是一个很短的字、词也是由一定的读音组成的。英语把组成一个读音的最小单位叫音素
如果不是的话,就用a.
