15.特殊疑问句
以疑问词 who，what，when，which，why，where，whose，how 等引导的问句都叫特殊疑问句，也叫疑问词疑问句，有时还被称为 wh-问句(wh-question)。结构一般为：疑问词+助动词+主语+主动词等。作为疑问词的what可以用来询问名字、国籍、工作、颜色、型号等。例如以下几个问句：
What make is this car? 这辆小汽车是什么牌子的?
What nationality are you? 你是哪国人?
What is your job? 你的工作是干什么?
What colour is it? 它是什么颜色的?
What size is this skirt? 这条裙子是多大号的?
16.a 和 an
Sophie is a new student. 索菲娅是一名新学生。
This is an umbrella. 这是一把雨伞。
这两个句子中出现的a/an在英语中被称为不定冠词。a和an在意义上没有区别。用a/an时，我们必须记住两条基本原则：
(1)a/an有不确定的意义(即所说的人、动物或东西对听者或读者来说可能是不知道的)。
(2)a/an只能用于单数可数名词之前。
此外还需注意a和an的发音：a(在平时讲话中发/+/音)用于辅音(不是辅音字母)之前;an(/+(/)用于元音(不仅仅是以元音字母a，e，i，o，u开头的词)之前。当我们把a或an用来说明字母表中的字母时，便会一目了然：
This is a B/C/D/G/J/K/P/Q/R/T/U/V/W/Y/Z.
这是一个 B/C/D/G/J/K/P/Q/R/T/U/V/W/Y/Z字母。
This is an A/E/F/H/I/L/M/N/O/S/X.
这是一个A/E/F/H/I/L/M/N/O/S/X字母。
