Употребление артиклей в английском языке: определённый артикль the , неопределённый артикль a (an ), нулевой артикль.

Употребление артиклей в английском языке - сложная задача для начинающих изучать этот один из самых распространённых языков в мире. Артикли в английском языке бывают трёх видов, и, несмотря на то, что существуют четкие правила, объясняющие их использование, выбрать правильный артикль порой бывает нелегко.

Существует три артикля в английском языке:

определенный артикль the : Did you enjoy the party? - Тебе понравилась вечеринка?

два неопределенных артикля в английском:

Артикль a - употребляют, если следующее слово начинается с согласной: I’m reading a book about England - я читаю книгу об Англии

Артикль an - если слово, стоящее после него, начинается с гласной: I read an interesting story - я читала интересную историю

“zero article ” (нулевой артикль в английском языке) - это отсутствие артиклей: Does she like meat or fish? - Она любит мясо или рыбу?

Артикли в английском языке могут стоять непосредственно перед существительным:

She is an artist - она художник

Кроме того, артикли в английском могут быть отделены от существительного с помощью наречия или прилагательного:

the newly renovated church - недавно отреставрированная церковь

a beautiful young woman - красивая молодая женщина

Правила употребления артиклей в английском языке

Употребление неопределённых артиклей в английском языке “a” и “an” :

1. Неопределённые артикли в английском языке “a ” или “an ” употребляются с существительными только в единственном числе в следующих случаях:

1.1. Если о предмете или человеке упоминают впервые, а также, если перед существительным стоит прилагательное в функции определения описательного характера:

Can I make a suggestion? - Могу я предположить?

Suddenly there was a loud bang - внезапно раздался громкий удар

1.2. С существительными в конструкции “there is ” (there was ):

There was a noise outdoors - на улице был какой-то шум

1.3. С существительными в сочетании с прилагательным “such ”:

such a day, such a car etc .

1.4. В восклицательных предложениях с усилительным местоимением “what ” употребляются неопределённые артикли в английском языке:

What a day! “What a nice journey!”

1.5. C существительными, которым предшествует слово “half ”:

half an hour, half a day etc .

1.6. Слова, которые начинаются с буквы “u ”, при условии, что она произносится как /ju: / (например, “united”, “useful ”), всегда употребляются с артиклем “a ” (not “an ”):

English is an universal language

English is a universal language

1.7. Cлова “one and ones ” и все фразы, начинающиеся с этих слов (such as one-sided, once-over ),всегда употребляются с артиклем “a ”:

a one-parent family, a one-way trip etc .

1.8. Если аббревиатуры начинаются с букв: F, H, L, M, N, R, S or X , а произношение этих букв начинается с гласного звука (например, F произносится, как /ef /), то в таких случаях всегда используется неопределённый артикль “an ” (not “a ”):

an MBA degree, an FBI agent etc .

1.9. В составе некоторых устойчивых сочетаний употребляется неопределённый артикль в английском языке:

a lot of, twice a day, as a result, it’s a pity .

1.10. С профессиями:

a pilot , an engineer .

Употребление определенного артикля в английском языке ”the”

2. Определенный артикль the в английском языке употребляется как с единственным числом, так и со множественным; как с исчисляемыми, так и с неисчисляемыми существительными в следующих случаях:

2.1. Если речь идет о конкретном лице или предмете в конкретной ситуации: Can you walk the dog? Can you put the book on the table? Оба собеседника знают, о какой собаке и о какой книге идет речь. Другими словами, определённый артикль the - это эквивалент выражению «вон тот, конкретный». Представьте, что Вы возвращаетесь из магазина и говорите своему другу: «Я купил(ла) the телефон». Этими словами вы введете своего друга в заблуждение, ведь на самом деле вы сказали: «Я купил(ла) вон тот телефон», а ваш друг понятия не имеет, о каком телефоне идёт речь. Поэтому, упоминая о предмете или человеке впервые, правильно будет сказать: I bought a phone yesterday .

2.2. Если предмет или явление имеет описание:

“This is the phone that I was telling you about yesterday ”.

2.3. Если о предмете или лице упоминалось в контексте ранее:

This is a house. The house is very old .

2.4. Если существительное в английском языке выражает единственный в своем роде предмет, ставится определённый артикль the:

the sun, the world, the sky, the universe , или же единственный в определённом пространстве предмет: the door, the window etc .

2.5. В сочетании с прилагательными в превосходной степени:

the best friend, the longest trip etc .

2.6. В сочетании с порядковыми числительными в английском языке:

the first day, the second chance etc .

2.7. При употреблении с прилагательным “same”:

the same day, the same time etc .

2.8. С существительными, обозначающими названия озер, водопадов, проливов, горных хребтов, групп островов, сторон света, рек, морей, океанов:

the Thames, the Atlantic Ocean, the Alps, the Bermudas, the English Channel, the Gulf Stream, the Suez Canal, the Niagara Falls etc .

2.9. С названиями стран, состоящих из нескольких слов, включающих в себя следующие: federation, republic, union, state, kingdom. Например:

the German Federal Republic, the USA, the UK etc .

2.10. В названиях пустынь также употребляется определённый артикль the в английском:

the Sahara Desert

2.11. В качестве исключения определённый артикль the в английском языке употребляется со следующими географическими названиями: the Netherlands (в переводе на русский - Ничьи Земли, чтобы показать, что они все-таки кому-то принадлежат, используют определенный артикль в английском языке):

the Crimea, the Caucasus, the Vatican, the Congo, the Lebanon, the Hague и с некоторыми другими

2.12. С существительными, обозначающими названия гостиниц, театров, музеев, судов:

the Hilton, the Covent Garden, the Titanic, the Bolshoy Theatre etc .

2.13. С существительными, обозначающими названия англоязычных газет:

the Financial Times, the Daily Mail etc .

2.14. В составе устойчивых сочетаний употребляется определённый артикль the:

to play the piano/ the violin / the guitar / the cello etc., to tell the truth, to go to the cinema/ theatre, to listen to the radio, the other way

2.15. С фамилиями, если фамилия стоит во множественном числе и обозначает всю семью:

the Smiths, the Browns etc .

Употребление нулевого артикля “zero article" (опущение артиклей в английском языке)

3. Артикли в английском языке опускаются в следующих случаях:

3.1. Перед именами собственными, а также перед существительными, обозначающими звания и титулы:

Professor N., General B., Queen Y .

3.2. Перед существительными, обозначающими дни недели на английском:

Monday, Sunday ….

3.3. С существительными в сочетании с предлогами в английском языке “from ….to, from …. till ”:

from beginning to end, from north to south, from nothing till everything, from head to foot etc .
