Answer 1

The teacher gave each of the students a piece of paper.

• Determiners are the words used just before the noun. When we use a determiner in front of a noun we get a clear picture of what the particular noun refers to.
• There are several categories of determiners. Commonly used determiners are some, each, any, etc.,
• Determiners include articles(a, an, the), definite verbs, pronouns(my, his), demonstratives(this, that), quantifiers(a few, a little), numbers(one or two)

Answer 2

Answer:

The teacher gave each of the students a piece of paper.

• 'Each' is one of Determiners.

Explanation :

• Determiners determine nouns by identifying and quantifying.

• Examples : A pen, an apple, the cow, this village, my book, few boys, little water, several girls.

• Determiners are of two kinds : Identifiers and Quantifiers. Above 'a', 'an', 'the', 'my' and 'this' are Identifiers and 'few', 'little', 'several' are Quantifiers.

• Here in the dash 'each' means everyone separately.
