DETERMINERS
What are determiners ?
A determiner is a word, phrase or affix that
occurs together with a noun or noun phrase and
serves to express the reference of that noun or noun phrase in the context.
TYPES OF DETERMINERS
# Articles #Demonstrative# Possessives #Quantifier#Numerals #Distributives#Interogatives
An article is a kind of adjective which is
always used with and gives some information
about a noun.
There are only two articles a and the, but they are used very often and are important for using English accurately.
The word a (which becomes an when
the next word begins with
a vowel - a, e, i, o, u) is called
the indefinite article because the noun it goes with is indefinite
or general.
The meaning of the article a is similar
to the number one, but one is stronger
and gives more emphasis. It is
possible to say I have a book or I have one book, but the second sentence emphasizes
that I do not have two or three or
some other number of books.
The word the is known as the definite article and indicates a specific thing. The difference between the sentences I sat on a chair and I sat on the chair is that
the second sentence refers to a particular,
specific chair, not just any chair.
Possessive determiners constitu
te a sub-class of determiners which
modify a noun by attributing possession (or other sense of
belonging) to someone or
something. They are also known
as possessive adjectives
The basic pronominal possessive determiners in modern English
are my, your, his, her, its, our, their and whose (as in Whose coat is
this? and the man whose car was stolen). As noted above, they indicate definiteness, like the definite article
the. Archaic forms include thy and mine/thine (for my/th
y before a vowel). For details, see English personal pronouns.
