Determiners

LC: To know what is the function of a determiner

      To identify determiners

      To collect a range of determiners 

• Determiners include many of the most frequent English words, e.g. the, a, my, this.

• Determiners are used with nouns (this book, my best friend, a new car) and they limit (i.e. determine) the reference of the noun in some way.

• Determiners include: - articles: a/an, the - demonstratives: this/that, these/those - possessives: my/your/his/her/its/our/their - quantifiers: some, any, no, many, much, few, little, both, all, either, each, every, enough.

Determiners determine a noun - they work within a sentence to pin down a noun. 

examples:

an apple,

the pencil,

this chair,

these children,

some tigers,

many people.
