英语语法:小冠词的用法
对于众多英语学习者而言,可能时态、语态和数之不尽的英语词汇是大家学习的难点。
恐怕很少会有人去深究冠词。然而冠词在英语中的地位是牢不可破的,少了它就乱套了!
我们来看几组跟冠词有着千丝万缕联系的词组
in possession of… & in the possession of…

拥有、占有之意,两个短语唯一的区别就是一个the。
in possession of…应使用人作为句子的主语,而in the possession of…则要使用物作为主语,of后跟someone。
例句:
He was caught in possession of a gun and some drugs.
那个嫌疑犯被逮住的时候被发现携有一支枪和一些毒品。
这句话也可以转换为
A gun and some drugs were in the possession of the suspect when he was caught.
in charge of… & in someone's charge

管理、负责之意。
这组短语和第一组类似,主语是人还是物,大家一定要留心。
例句:
He was selected to be in charge of the new department.
他被选做这个新部门的负责人。
The new department was in the manager's charge since it was founded.
这个新部门成立时就是由经理来负责的。
in fashion & in a fashion

in fashion意为正在流行
相关短语还有come into fashion开始流行
bring…into fashion使某物流行。
例句:
Jeans are still in fashion this year.
今年牛仔裤仍旧十分流行。
若是在中间加了冠词a,意思可就截然不同了。
in a fashion意为勉强、马马虎虎,和after a fashion意思相同。
例句:
Jennifer told me she could play tennis in a fashion/after a fashion.
珍妮弗告诉我她网球打得马马虎虎。
