高中英语语法 - 冠词用法归纳

Many of the wounded died on their way to hospital. ③ 与某些表国籍的形容词连用：

The French are famous for their cooking. 法国人以善烹调著称。 ④与某些形容词连用表示抽象概念

One must learn to take the bad with the good. 人必须学会好坏都能承受。 【注】：“the+形容词”的语法特征

①复数性：“the+形容词”表示一类具有某种特征或特性的人时，通常表示复数意义，若用作主语，谓语要用复数。 如：

The injured were carried away on stretchers. 用担架把受伤的人抬走了。

The old are more likely to catch cold than the young. 老年人比年轻人更容易感冒。

②单数性：“the+形容词”若表示抽象概念，则表示单数意义，用作主语时，谓语要用单数如：

The beautiful is not always the good, and the good is not always the true. ③单复性：有个别的“the+形容词”结构既表示单数意义，也表示复数意义，若用作主语，谓语动词用单数还是复数需视情况而定。如：the good 指“好人”时表复数意义，指“善”时表单数意义；the accused 指一名被告时表单数意义，指多名被告时表复数意义。比较：

The accused was acquitted of the charge. 被告被宣告无罪。(指一人) The accused were acquitted of the charge. 被告均被宣告无罪。(指多人) ④习惯性：有的表达带有一定的习惯性，如“病人”习惯说成 the sick，而不说 the ill；这类结构习惯上不用于-’s 所有格形式，若语义需要，可考虑用 of 所有格。如：

正：He is interested in the problems of the poor. 他对穷人的问题感兴趣。 ? 零冠词的用法：
