什麼情況下可省略 “the”?

冠詞的省略稱為「零冠詞」,除了用於不可數名詞之前外,還有下列情形:

1.  運動、遊戲、比賽的名稱,
Tom likes to play baseball.

2.  以稱呼、家族關係、職稱等作為補語時,
What did your mom say?

3.  學科名稱,
English is my favorite subject.

4.  breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper等餐點時,
I had a sandwich for breakfast.但若這些名詞如加以限制或指其種類、數量時,則可加冠詞,
My family enjoyed a great dinner with the Browns.

5.  bed, class, school, church, office, table等,如表示其功用或活動,而非其場地或建築時,
I go to bed at 10 o’clock every day. I don’t go to school on Sundays. 在這兩個例句中,bedschool代表的是「功能」、「作用」及「性質」。

6.  by後面的運輸工具或方式的名稱,
  He is going to Taichung by train. by表示「手段」及「方法」,泛指作為交通工具的車輛而非具體指某一班火車。
