He's a teacher 他是老师
可数单数名词前需要冠词:辅音音前用 a,元音音前用 an(a student / an office worker)。很多语言没有冠词,所以这是最常见的错误。学习职业词汇(student, teacher, doctor, office worker)和 man·woman。
Dialogue
He's a Teacher — 他是老师
- Emma Minsu, who is he? 民秀,他是谁?
- Minsu He is teacher. 他是老师。(错误:漏了 a)
- Emma He is a teacher. You need "a", Minsu. 是 He is a teacher。你需要 "a",民秀。
- Minsu Ah, he is a teacher. And she is a doctor! 啊,他是老师。还有她是医生!
Dialogue
A or An? — 用 a 还是 an?
- Jack Is your mother a office worker? 你母亲是公司职员吗?(故意用错的 a)
- Minsu An office worker. "Office" is a vowel sound! 是 An office worker。"office" 是元音音!
- Jack Good. You have a teacher in you. 不错。你身上有当老师的潜质。
- Minsu Thank you! I like English. 谢谢!我喜欢英语。

Explanation
英语在可数单数名词前加一个小词——冠词。辅音音前用 "a"(a student, a teacher),元音音前用 "an"(an office worker, an apple)。它跟随读音,而不是字母。特定且已知的事物用 "the"(the doctor here)。很多语言没有冠词,所以容易漏掉——但 "He is teacher" 是错的,要说 "He is a teacher"。
Examples
- He's a teacher. She's a doctor. 他是老师。她是医生。
- She's an office worker. 她是公司职员。(元音音前 → an)
- I'm a student. The doctor is here. 我是学生。那位医生在这里。
