1) 不定冠詞位置
不定冠詞常位于名詞或名詞修飾語前。注意:
a. 位于such,what,many,half等形容詞之后。例如:
I have never seen such an animal. 我從來沒見過這樣的動物。
Many a man is fit for the job. 許多人適合這崗位。
b. 當名詞前的形容詞被副詞as, so, too, how, however, enough修飾時,不定冠詞應放在形容詞之后。例如:
It is as pleasant a day as I have ever spent. 我從未這么高興過。
So short a time 如此短的時間
Too long a distance 距離太遠了
c. quite,rather與單數名詞連用,冠詞放在其后。但當rather,quite 前仍有形容詞,不定冠詞放其前后均可,如:rather a cold day/a rather cold day.
d. 在as,though 引導的讓步狀語從句中,當表語為形容詞修飾的名詞時,不定冠詞放形容詞后。例如:
Brave a man though he is,he trembles at the sight of snakes. 他盡管勇敢,可見到蛇還是發抖。
2) 定冠詞位置
定冠詞通常位于名詞或名詞修飾語前,但放在all, both,double,half,twice,three times等詞之后,名詞之前。例如:
All the students in the class went out.班里的所有學生都出去了。
