限定詞,顧名思義,是用來(lái)限定名詞的一類詞。我們知道,名詞指代人、物、事、時(shí)、地、情感、概念等實(shí)體或抽象事物的詞,但是在句子中,某一名詞是特指,還是類指,是確定數(shù)量,還是不確定數(shù)量,這些都要靠“限定詞”來(lái)決定。

因此,限定詞是在名詞詞組中對(duì)名詞中心詞起特指、類指以及表示確定數(shù)量和非確定數(shù)量等限定作用的詞類。

英語(yǔ)的限定詞有以下幾類:

1.冠詞:定冠詞、不定冠詞、零冠詞

The red book is mine.

There is a pen and? an apple on the desk. ??

Time is money.

2.物主限定詞:my, your, his, her, our, your, their, one's, its.?

My bike is broken.

3.名詞屬格:John's, my friend's.?

4.指示限定詞:this, that, these, those, such

5.關(guān)系限定詞:whose, which

6.疑問(wèn)限定詞:what, which, whose

9.量詞:a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a great /good deal of, a large of, a small amount of, a quantity of, a great/ large/ good number of等。

限定詞雖然屬于“封閉詞類”,但種類繁多,使用頻繁,我們需要分類記憶,靈活運(yùn)用。
