Determiners are words placed in front of a noun to make it clear what the noun refers to. A determiner is a word, phrase, or affix which occurs together with a noun/noun phrase and serves to express the reference of that noun/noun phrase in the context
Explanation:
The types of determiners are
- Definite article (the): The definite article is the word the, and is used before a noun to define it as something specific (something previously known or mentioned, something unique, or something being identified by the speaker), for example, Can we go to the park? (The park is specific, as it is known to the listener and the speaker).
- Demonstratives (this, that, these, those): These are words that directly indicates a thing/person or few people/few things, examples, Give me that red blanket, This time you must definitely pass, I want those gorgeous clips, These apples are delicious
- Difference words (another, other): It refers to something different, remaining, or additional. Other (Plural countable nouns and all uncountable nouns. Other is used alone or after the determiners any, no, and some ), another (Singular countable nouns), examples, Do you have other shoes?/Do you have any others? Would you like another cup of tea?
- Distributives (all, half, both, neither, either, every, and each) refer to a group of people/things, and to individual members of the group. They show different ways of looking at the individuals within a group, and they express in what way something is shared/distributed/divided. Each/Every talks about the individual members of a group; All collectively refers to the whole group (incase of plural nouns all is followed by the/of the; half refers to divided group (in case of measurements ‘half’ is used prefixed with a/an); either/neither refers to a group of two (Either/neither is used with plural nouns when prefixed with of). examples, Each child was laughing., Every room is full, All dogs love bones, Half of his money goes to charity, Eat half an apple every morning, Either man was courteous, Either of the books was worth keeping, Both Sara and Tommy were watching Veronica, Neither car is working, Neither of the dogs barked.
- Indefinite articles (a, an): Are used when we are referring to an unspecified thing or quantity. We use a when the indefinite article comes before a word beginning with a consonant sound; we use an when the indefinite article comes before a word beginning with a vowel sound examples, an orange, a bat, an egg, a pencil. However, not all nouns that start with a consonant begin with the consonant sound. Always trust the sound, not the letter when applying the a or an rule. It is all about pronunciation. Examples, a book, a house,an apple, an operation; however an hourglass, a university, a one-eyed man.
- Pre-determiners (such, rather, what, quite): They are placed before an indefinite article+adjective+noun to express an opinion about the noun they modify, examples What a lovely day!, I had such a good time, You can't imagine what an incredible lunch I had, It is quite near the park gate, Thanks, but I'd rather go alone!
- Pronouns (I, you, she,he, it, we, they, one) and possessive determiners (my, your, his, her, its, our, their): We use pronouns to refer to possession and ‘belonging’. We use possessive determiners before a noun. Examples, is that your book? It was her fault, not his.
- Quantifiers (a few, much, more, a little, many, most, a lot of, some, any, enough): a word or phrase which is used before a noun to indicate the amount or quantity, examples, There are some books on the desk, He's got more friends than his sister, He's got only a few dollars, A man of so many moods, don't need any help, Much of it true, Most people will tell you anything you want to know, There were a lot of people at the party, She had enough for the entire family
