What are Determiners?
A determiner is a word that identifies or specifies the noun. It comes before a noun and limits its meaning.
Kinds of Determiners :
Articles and many adjectives function as determiners:
(1) Articles: A, An, The
(2) Demonstrative Adjectives: This, That, These, Those
(3) Possessive Adjectives: My, Our, Your, His, Her, Their, Its
(4) Distributive Adjectives: Each, Every, Either, Neither
(5) Adjectives of Quantity & Number: Some, Any, Much, Many, All, Both, Few, a few, Little, a little, less, One, Two, First, Second, etc.
In Q1. we need to choose the determiner any/some.
'Any' is appropriate because -
- Some is used in affirmative sentences while any is normally used in negative sentences.
For e.g. -
(a)I have some gold but I do not have any money.
(b)He gave me some books but I didn't read any book.
Hence, the correct choice is 'Any.'
I do not have any spare pen.
In Q2. we need to choose the determiner Every /Some.
'Every' is appropriate because -
- 'Every' is used when we think of objects as the entire group in which all are included without exception.
- It is also used with a singular countable noun and takes singular verbs. It is used for one of many things and never for one of two things.
- It is used when the number is large or indefinite.
For e.g -
(1) I have read every book on my shelf.
(2) Every player of the team played very well.
Hence, the correct choice is 'Every'.
Every body must have his own book.
In Q3. we need to choose the determiner This / These.
'These' is appropriate because -
- 'This' is used with singular countable or uncountable nouns, and 'These' is used with plural countable nouns only.
- ' This' and 'These' are used with persons or things near at hand.
For e.g -
- This mango is sour.
- These books are worth reading.
Hence, the correct choice is 'These.'
These houses are newly built.
