Cách dùng mạo từ không xác định “a” và “an”. • Dùng “a” hoặc “an” trước một danh từ số ít đếm được. Chúng có nghĩa là một. Chúng được dùng trong câu có tính khái quát hoặc đề cập đến một chủ thể chưa được đề cập từ trước. Ex: A ball is round (nghĩa chung, khái quát, chỉ tất cả các quả bóng) He has seen a girl (chúng ta không biết cô gái nào, chưa được đề cập trước đó) a. Dùng "an” trước: "an" được dùng trước các từ bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm (trong cách phát âm, chứ không phải trong cách viết). Bao gồm: Các từ bắt đầu bằng các nguyên âm “a, e, i, o”.

Dùng trước “half” (một nửa) khi nó theo sau một đơn vị nguyên vẹn: a kilo hay a half, hay khi nó đi ghép với một danh từ khác để chỉ nửa phần (khi viết có dấu gạch nối): a half share, a half holiday (ngày lễ chỉ nghỉ nửa ngày). Ex: My mother bought a half kilo of apples. Dùng với các đơn vị phân số như : 1/3 ( a/ one third), 1/5 (a/ one fifth), 1/4 (a quarter) Ex: I get up at a quarter past six. Dùng trong các thành ngữ chỉ giá cả, tốc độ, tỉ lệ: a dollar, a kilometer, an hour, 4 times a day... Ex: John goes to work four times a week. 2. Cách dùng mạo từ xác định “the” • Dùng “the” trước một danh từ đã được xác định cụ thể về mặt tính chất, đặc điểm, vị trí hoặc đã được đề cập đến trước đó, hoặc những khái niệm phổ thông, ai cũng biết. Ex: The man next to Lin is my friend. The sun is big. • Với danh từ không đếm được, dùng “the” nếu nói đến một vật cụ thể, không dùng “the” nếu nói chung. Ex: Chili is very hot. The chili on the table has been bought. • Với danh từ đếm được số nhiều, khi chúng có nghĩa đại diện chung cho một lớp các vật cùng loại thì cũng không dùng "the". Ex: Students should do homework before going to school. C. The subjunctive mood 1.
