本次教学，从冠词（Articles）入手。

孩子需要明白，在名词前面，经常出现“a, an, the”三个词，它们叫作冠词。

名词前面，冠词只能有一个。在英语里，什么时候使用冠词“a, an”，什么时候使用冠词“the”呢？为了帮助孩子体会这个问题的答案，妈妈可以写出下面四组句子。

每组句子，均由 2 句话组成。妈妈可以提醒孩子，在第 2 句话，会重复出现第 1 句里的名词，重复出现的名词，前面要加 the ，妈妈可以用荧光笔，像下面这样，把两句话里重复出现的名词，连同其前面的冠词，均涂上颜色。

第一组：

Tom has an apple. He is eating the apple.

第二组：

Mary has an umbrella. She is holding the umbrella.

第三组：

Tom has a dog. The dog is barking.

第四组：

Mary has a cat. The cat is cute.
