 Đối với tính từ và phó từ ngắn chỉ cần cộng đuôi -er. (thick – thicker; cold-
colder; quiet-quieter)

 Đối với tính từ ngắn có một phụ âm tận cùng (trừ w,x,z) và trước đó là một
nguyên âm, phải gấp đôi phụ âm cuối. (big-bigger; red-redder; hot-hotter)

 Đối với tính từ, phó từ dài, thêm more hoặc less trước tính từ hoặc phó từ đó
(more beautiful; more important; more believable).

 Đối với tính từ tận cùng là phụ âm+y, phải đổi y thành -ier (happy-happier; dry-
drier; pretty-prettier).

 Đối với các tính từ có hậu tố -ed, -ful, -ing, -ish, -ous cũng biến đổi bằng cách
thêm more cho dù chúng là tính từ dài hay ngắn (more useful, more boring, more
cautious)

 Trường hợp đặc biệt: strong-stronger; friendly-friendlier than = more friendly

than.

b. Articles:
1. Định nghĩa về mạo từ:
Mạo từ là từ dùng trước danh từ và cho biết danh từ ấy đề cập đến một đối tượng xác
định hay không xác định. Chúng ta dùng "the" khi danh từ chỉ đối tượng được cả người
nói lẫn người nghe biết rõ đối tượng nào đó. Ngược lại, khi dùng mạo từ bất định a, an;
người nói đề cập đến một đối tượng chung hoặc chưa xác định được: Mạo từ trong tiếng
Anh chỉ gồm ba từ và được phân chia như sau:
 Mạo từ xác định (Denfinite article): the
 Mạo từ bất định (Indefinite article): a, an
 Mạo từ Zero (Zero article) hay danh từ không có mạo từ đứng trước: thường
áp dụng cho danh từ không đếm được (uncountable nouns) và danh từ đếm được ở
dạng số nhiều: coffee, tea; people, clothes.

Mạo từ không phải là một loại từ riêng biệt, chúng ta có thể xem nó như một bộ phận
của tính từ dùng để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ - chỉ đơn vị (cái, con c
2. Mạo từ bất định (Indefinite articles)
A & An - Dùng trước danh từ đếm được (số ít) - khi danh từ đó chưa được xác định (bất
định). "an" dùng cho danh từ bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm (nhưng phụ thuộc vào cách phát
âm). Ví dụ: a book, a table - an apple, an orange. Đặc biệt một số từ "h" được đọc như
nguyên âm. Ví dụ: an hour, an honest man.

3. Mạo từ xác định (Definite article)

3.1 Cách đọc: "the" được đọc là [di] khi đứng trước danh từ bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm (a,
e, i, o, u) và đọc là (dơ) khi đứng trước danh từ bắt đầu bằng phụ âm (trừ các nguyên
âm): The egg, the chair The umbrella, the book
"The" được đọc là [dơ] khi đứng trước danh từ có cách viết bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm
nhưng có cách đọc bằng một phụ âm + nguyên âm: /ju:/ và /w^n/ như:
 The United Stated
 The Europeans
 The one-eyed man is the King of the blind.
 The university
"The" được đọc là [di] khi đứng trước danh từ có "h" không đọc:
 The [di] hour (giờ)
 The [di] honestman

The được đọc là [di: ] khi người nói muốn nhấn mạnh hoặc khi ngập ngừng trước các
danh từ bắt đầu ngay cả bằng phụ âm:
Ví dụ: I have forgotten the [di:], er, er the [di:], er, check. (tôi đã bỏ quên cái, à, à..., cái
ngân phiếu rồi)
3.2 Một số nguyên tắc chung:
a/ "The" được dùng trước danh từ chỉ người , vật đã được xác định :
Mạo từ xác định "the" được dùng trước danh từ để diễn tả một ( hoặc nhiều) người , vật,
sự vật nào đó đã được xác định rồi, nghĩa là cả người nói và người nghe đều biết đối
tượng được đề cập tới. Khi nói ' Mother is in the garden' (Mẹ đang ở trong vườn), cả
người nói lẫn người nghe đều biết khu vườn đang được đề cập tới là vườn nào, ở đâu.
Chúng ta xem những ví dụ khác:
 The Vietnamese often drink tea. ( Người Việt Nam thường uống trà nói chung)
 We like the teas of Thai Nguyen.( Chúng tôi thích các loại trà của Thái Nguyên)
(dùng "the" vì đang nói đến trà của Thái Nguyên)
 I often have dinner early. (bữa tối nói chung)
 The dinner We had at that restaurant was awful. (Bữa ăn tối chúng tôi đã ăn ở
nhà hàng đó thật tồi tệ)
 Butter is made from cream. (Bơ được làm từ kem) - bơ nói chung
 He likes the butter of France . ( Anh ta thích bơ của Pháp) - butter được xác
định bởi từ France (Nước Pháp)
 Pass me a pencil, please. (Làm ơn chuyển cho tôi 1 cây bút chì) - cây nào cũng
được.

b/ "The" dùng trước danh từ chỉ nghĩa chỉ chủng loại: "The" có thể dùng theo nghĩa
biểu chủng (generic meaning), nghĩa là dùng để chỉ một loài:
 I hate the television. ( Tôi ghét tivi)
 The whale is a mammal, not a fish. (cá voi là động vật có vú, không phải là cá
nói chung)

Ở đây, the television, the whale không chỉ một cái tivi hoặc một con cá voi cụ thể nào
mà chỉ chung cho tất cả tivi, tất cả cá voi trên trái đất này.
3.3 Những trường hợp đặc biệt:
a/ Các từ ngữ thông dụng sau đây không dùng "the" :
go to the church:
Go to church: đi lễ ở
đến nhà thờ (ví dụ: Go to market: đi chợ
Nhà thờ
để gặp Linh mục)
go to the market: đi
go to the school : đến
đến chợ (ví dụ: để
Go to school : đi học trường (ví dụ: để gặp
khảo sát giá cả thị
Ngài hiệu trưởng)
trường)
go to the bed : bước
Go to bed : đi ngủ đến giường (ví dụ: Go to prison : ở tù
để lấy quyển sách)
go to the prison : đến
nhà tù (ví dụ: để thăm
tội phạm)
Cách dùng mạo từ trong tiếng anh:
Cách dùng mạo từ không xác định "a" và "an": Dùng a hoặc an trước một danh từ số ít
đếm được. Chúng có nghĩa là một. Chúng được dùng trong câu có tính khái quát hoặc
đề cập đến một chủ thể chưa được đề cập từ trước.
Cách dùng mạo từ “an”: Mạo từ an được dùng trước từ bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm
(trong cách phát âm, chứ không phải trong cách viết).
Cách dùng mạo từ “a”: Dùng a trước các từ bắt đầu bằng một phụ âm. Chúng bao gồm
các chữ cái còn lại và một số trường hợp bắt đầu bằng u, y, h. Ví dụ:a house, a
university, a home party, a heavy load, a uniform, a union, a year income,...
Cách dùng mạo từ xác định "the": Dùng the trước một danh từ đã được xác định cụ
thể về mặt tính chất, đặc điểm, vị trí hoặc đã được đề cập đến trước đó, hoặc những khái
niệm phổ thông, ai cũng biết.
VD: The earth is round.
 We go to church on Sundays (chúng tôi đi xem lễ vào chủ nhật)
 We go to the church to see her (chúng tôi đến nhà thờ để gặp cô ta)
 We often go to school early. (chúng tôi thường đi học sớm)
 My father often goes to the school to speak to our teachers. (Bố tôi thường đến
trường để nói chuyện với các thầy cô giáo của chúng tôi)
 Jack went to bed early. (Jack đã đi ngủ sớm)
 Jack went to the bed to get the book. (Jack đi đến giường lấy cuốn sách)

Trong khi, các từ dưới đây luôn đi với "the" :

 cathedral (Nhà thờ lớn), office (văn phòng)
 cinema (rạp chiếu bóng,) theatre ( rạp hát)

Chú ý: Tên của lục địa, quốc gia, tiểu bang, tỉnh , thành phố, đường phố, mũi đất, hòn
đảo, bán đảo , quần đảo , vịnh , hồ, ngọn núi không dùng mạo từ "the":

depends heavily on the weather. When it is not harvest time, the men of the village go fishing
from early morning and don’t return until late afternoon. By the time they return, most of the
village women will be waiting for them on the river bank. They wait to buy the fish, which they
will later sell at the local market or bring to the nearby town for a higher price. We children will
be there too. We love running around the beach and waiting for the boats to come in.
Our most important festival of the year is the Chol Chnam Thmay, which celebrates the New
Year. It falls in mid-April. Every family tries to prepare well for the festive activities. The
community also visits and helps poor families so that everybody has a happy New Year.
