Significado: Using articles with singular countable nouns
单数可数名词使用冠词
Usar artículos con sustantivos contables singulares
単数可算名詞に冠詞を使う
단수 가산명사에 관사 사용하기
Singular countable nouns (things you can count: book, apple, car) almost always need an article. Use 'a/an' for non-specific or first mention, 'the' for specific. You cannot say 'I have car' - it must be 'a car' or 'the car.'
单数可数名词(可以计数的事物:书、苹果、汽车)几乎总是需要冠词。非特指或首次提及时用'a/an',特指时用'the'。你不能说'I have car'——必须是'a car'或'the car'。
Los sustantivos contables singulares (cosas que puedes contar: libro, manzana, coche) casi siempre necesitan un artículo. Usa 'a/an' para no específico o primera mención, 'the' para específico. No puedes decir 'I have car' - debe ser 'a car' o 'the car'.
単数可算名詞(数えられるもの:本、りんご、車)はほぼ必ず冠詞が必要です。不特定または最初の言及には「a/an」を、特定のものには「the」を使います。「I have car」とは言えません——「a car」または「the car」でなければなりません。
단수 가산명사(셀 수 있는 것: book, apple, car)에는 거의 항상 관사가 필요합니다. 불특정하거나 처음 언급할 때는 'a/an'을, 특정할 때는 'the'를 사용합니다. 'I have car'라고 할 수 없고, 'a car' 또는 'the car'라고 해야 합니다.
