Hey Friend Here Is Your ™,

Determiners are used with nouns to clarify the noun.

The type of determiner used depends on the type of noun.

Singular Nouns - always needs a determiner

Plural Nouns - the determiner is optional

Uncountable Nouns - the determiner is also optional

There are about 50 different determiners in the English language they include:

Articles - a, an, the

Demonstratives - this, that, these, those, which etc.

Possessives - my, your, our, their, his, hers, whose, my friend's, our friends', etc.

Quantifiers -few, a few, many, much, each, every, some, any etc.

Numbers - one, two, three, twenty, forty

Ordinals - first, second, 1st 2nd, 3rd, last, next, etc.

Determiner is a word used before a noun to specify and point at it.

Example - This class is well-desciplined
Here, 'This' is the determiner.

Types of Determiners ---

1. Articles - a,an,the

We use article 'a' before a singular noun which is countable, and 'a' is used with a noun which begins with a consonant sound (which is not vowel sound).

a cat, a bun etc.

We use 'an' before a vowel but we don't use it by seeing the vowel, it is used before a noun which has a vowel sound i.e.,
Vowels are - a,e,i,o,u
So we will use 'an' before a noun which will be having the sound of a,e,i,o,u

Example - an army,an umbrella

We use The when we wish to specify a noun

The sky, The moon etc.


2. DEMONSTRATIVES - This, That, these, those

We use This and That with singular nouns. They take singular verbs
Example - This building is new, That helicopter was up in the air.
These and Those are used with plural nouns. They take plural verbs
Example - These packete are for you. Please take them, Those kites look beautiful.

3. POSSESSIVES -- My, our, your,his,her,its,their

Examples - Rohan has 'my' bag
Mona wants 'your' notebook.
The bag is big but 'its' handle is very small.
Sahil likes 'her' painting.

4. DISTRIBUTIVES -- Each, Every,Either, neither.

We use each when we think of things separately, We use every when we think of thing as a group.

Examples - Talk to each child separately.
Every child needs love and care.

Either has two meanings. It can mean any of the two different persons or things. It can also mean both. Neither is opposite of either. It means not one or the other.

Examples - You can take either bus.
Neither document has any signature on it.

5. INTERROGATIVES -- What, Which,Whose,how many,how much

These are used to ask questions, and can be placed before any kind of a noun.

Examples -- Whose bag is this ?
Which book on gardening do you recommend ?
How many cartons will we require to pack these books ?


6. QUANTIFIERS -- Any,some,much,many,few,a few, the few, little, a little, the little

• Some,Any
We generally use 'some' in affirmative sentence and 'any' in negative and interrogative sentences. We rarely use 'any' in affirmative sentences.

Examples -- Some Boys are still in the library.
Are there any girls in the English play?

• Much,many

Much refers to quantity. It is used with uncountable nouns. Many refers to number. It is used with countable nouns.

Examples -- Sunidhi doesn't have much knowledge about politics.
Many boys have shown interest in playing cricket.
