B. GRAMMAR
I. A/AN/THE
• A/an/the là những từ hết sức
quen thuộc trong tiếng Anh, chúng được gọi là mạo từ.
Có 2 loại mạo từ: mạo từ không
xác định và mạo từ xác định.
1. 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): Quả bóng
hình tròn.
- He has seen a girl (chúng ta không biết cô gái nào, chưa được đề cập trước đó): Anh ấy vừa mới gặp một cô gái.
a. Dùng "an” trước:
- Quán từ "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”. Ví dụ: an apple
(một quả táo), an orange (một quả cam).
- Một số từ bắt đầu bằng “u”: Ví
dụ: an umbrella (một cái ô)
- Một số từ bắt đầu bằng “h” câm:
Ví dụ: an hour (một tiếng)
- Các từ mở đầu bằng một chữ viết tắt: an S.O.S/ an M.P
b. Dùng "a" trước:
- Dùng “a” trước các từ bắt đầu
bằng một phụ âm. Chúng bao gồm các chữ cái còn lại và một số trường hợp bắt
đầu bằng "u, y, h".
Ex: A house (một ngôi nhà), a year (một năm), a uniform (một bộ đồng phục)...
- Đứng trước một danh từ mở đầu bằng
"uni..." và
"eu" phải dùng
"a": Ví dụ: a university
(trường đại học), a union (tổ chức), a culogy (lời ca ngợi).
- Dùng trong các thành ngữ chỉ
số lượng nhất định như: a lot of/
a great deal of/ a couple/ a dozen.
Ex: I want to buy a dozen eggs. (Tôi muốn mua 1 tả trứng.)
- Dùng trước những
số đếm nhất định thường là hàng
ngàn, hàng trăm như: a/ one hundred - a/ one thousand.
Ex: My school has a thousand students. (Trường của tôi có một nghìn học
sinh.)
- 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. (Mẹ tôi mua nửa cân táo.)
- 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. (Tôi thức dậy lúc 6 giờ 15 phút.)
- 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. (John đi làm 4 lần 1 tuần.)
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. (Trong câu này cả người nói và người
nghe đều biết đó là người đàn
giaoandethitienganh.info
ông nào).
Người đàn ông bên cạnh Lin là bạn của tôi.
- The sun is big. (Mặt trời chỉ có một). Mặt trời rất lớn.
• 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. (Chỉ các loại ớt nói chung). Ớt rất cay.
- The chili on the table has been bought. (Cụ thể là ớt ở trên bàn) Ớt ở trên bàn vừa mới được mua.
• 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. (Học sinh nói chung)
Học sinh nên làm bài tập về nhà trước khi đến trường.
REVIEW THE SIMPLE PAST & PAST CONTINUOUS.
1. Simple past (Quá khứ đơn)
a. Với động từ "to be":
(+) S + was/ were + O
(-) S + wasn't/ weren't + O
(?) Was/ were (not) + S + O?
b. Với động từ “to do”:
(+) S + Ved + O
(-) S + didn't + V + O

d. Một số lưu ý đối với thi quá khứ đơn:
• Quy tắc thêm “ed” với động từ
thường: Hầu hết động từ được thêm
"ed" để biến thành động từ dạng
quá khứ.
Ex: work - worked, visit - visited
• Một vài động từ kết thúc bằng phụ âm
"y" thì biến
"y" thành
"i" rồi thêm
"ed" để biến thành dạng động từ
quá khứ.
Ex: study - studied, carry - carried
• Một vài động từ có dạng 1:1:1 (1 phụ âm + 1 nguyên âm + 1 phụ âm) thì ta gấp
đôi phụ âm cuối rồi thêm
"ed".
Ex: plan - planned, fit - fitted
* Cách phát âm đối với động từ có đuôi “ed”:
