冠词是英语中十分紧张、意义颜色十分繁复的词，它的使用率很高，是英语中最常用的词。

传统语法将冠词分为不定冠词和定冠词两类，古代英语将冠词分为不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词三类。

冠词是一种本身不克不及独立使用的虚词，寻常放在名词前方，协助分析这个名词的涵义。

冠词的用法有其纪律性，又有其习气性。偶尔必需用不定冠词，偶尔必需用定冠词；偶尔既可用不定冠词也可用定冠词；偶尔不必或缺省冠词；偶尔用或不必冠词，用不定冠词或用定冠词，意义上又不同很大。

为了更好地把握和使用冠词，我对冠词的用法举行了深化过细的学习和研讨、总结和总结，整理成册，与宽大英语喜好者协同砚习。

《英语冠词》共十章，前五章讲基本知识，后五章讲深化内容，积极处理现有语法书含糊不清的场合，协助深条理了解冠词的使用，处理冠词使用和测验中显现的疑问成绩。

英语有很多容易殽杂的词语。在英汉辞书中有很多汉语释义相同或相近的英语词汇，在很多情况下，由于语境、搭配、句型布局等不同，它们之间有的存在渺小差别，有的存在很大不同；有些词义相反或相近的词汇在某些情况下可换用，但在另一些情况下却不克不及换用；这在很多同义词、近义词中都有相似情况，很容易误用和错用。在英语词汇中，有些单词容颜十分相似，但词义却不同，很容易张冠李戴。假如不了解同义词、近义词、近形词等易混词语的区别，尤其是这类词之间的渺小差别和习气用法，就把握不到标准、隧道的英语，在交际和写作中常令人匪夷所思，乃至闹出笑话，因此，熟习和把握易混词语的区别和用法好坏常紧张的。

为此，我学习和研讨英语易混词20多年，辨析了560组常用的或疑问的易混词，Word排版，大32开，1128页，80万字，150万字符。为了与网友分享，又编纂了手机版。

以易混词语组为主干，列出一组易混词语，分析这组易混词语的共性和区别，逐词阐释词义及用法，并配有例句及汉语译文，以便体系地把握一组易混词语的协同点和区别。每组词的表明和分析力图简明简明、普通易懂，且又尽力细致；针对表明和分析，选择例句标准、隧道、实用，具有年代特征，容易学习模仿，积极做到条理清晰、主次明白，使人见树又见林，知其然更能知其以是然。

例句触及天文地域、天然封建、人文封建，学习英语易混词的同时，增长多方面的知识，有些例句包含人生哲理，催人奋进。

《英语易混词辨析》是我20多年对英语易混词学习和研讨的总结。每句话都颠末反复考究、反复揣摩，偶尔为考究一句话的正误要花上几天乃至几十天，有的一组词的考据总结就用了几年光阴。

我决计深耕不辍，打造经典，与万千伙伴共勉。十分接待宽大伙伴提供名贵意见，凡被采取的首创性看法，我将逐一表现感激！
