Answer 2

Answer:

What is a determiner? Simply put, in English, a determiner is a word that introduces a noun. It always comes before a noun, not after, and it also comes before any other adjectives used to describe the noun.



Determiners are required before a singular noun but are optional when it comes to introducing plural nouns. For example, consider the placement and usage of the common determiner the in the sentences below:

The bunny went home.

I ate the chocolate cookie for dessert.

Metal cans are recyclable.

The metal cans are recyclable.

In every example, the determiner is placed before the noun or noun phrase, regardless of whether the noun in the subject or predicate. In the first example, it comes directly before the noun, but in the second example, it comes before the adjective ("chocolate") that describes the noun ("cookie").

Note also that in the third example there is no determiner, as determiners are optional for plural nouns and noun phrases. When you want to discuss the noun in general (i.e., all metal cans), you don't need a determiner for plural nouns. However, the fourth example shows that you may add a determiner to refer to specific nouns (i.e., the metal cans right here).
