Determiners are <span class=\"highlight-target\">a<\/span> <span class=\"highlight-target\">very<\/span> <span class=\"highlight-target\">common<\/span> type of word; one that we use on <span class=\"highlight-target\">a<\/span> <span class=\"highlight-target\">daily<\/span> basis without even thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I\u2019ve already used six of them just in those <span id=\"sentence2\">first two sentences!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019ll be looking at what determiners actually are and why they are so useful.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Definite_and_Indefinite_Articles\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Definite and Indefinite Articles<\/h2>\n<p>\nAt its most basic, a determiner is a word used to introduce a <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/what-is-a-noun\/\">noun<\/a>. If we look at this sentence, we see that it contains three nouns: \u201cdeterminer,\u201d \u201cword,\u201d and \u201cnoun.\u201d Each of these nouns is introduced using a specific determiner: \u201ca.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201ca\u201d is what we call an article, which is one of the most common types of determiners to use and the first type of determiner we\u2019re going to look at. There are two types of articles: <em>definite<\/em> and <em>indefinite<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li>Definite article: <strong>the<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Indefinite articles: <strong>a, an<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The definite article \u201cthe\u201d refers to <em>specific nouns<\/em>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>The<\/strong> man washed <strong>the<\/strong> car.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>The<\/strong> gigantic snake slithered away.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>The indefinite articles, on the other hand, refer to nouns in a more <em>general<\/em> sense:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>An<\/strong> airplane is much faster than <strong>a<\/strong> boat.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>A<\/strong> book is <strong>a<\/strong> great present.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>In this first sentence, there is no particular airplane or boat being referred to; instead, the first sentence is making a <em>general<\/em> claim about the speed of airplanes as compared to boats. In the second, we\u2019re not talking about a specific book, just the general idea that books make for good presents. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, note that in each of these sentences a determiner is <em>required<\/em> because the nouns in the sentence are singular. If any of the articles were erased, the sentences would sound pretty odd and be grammatically incorrect. If our sentence contains plural nouns, we don\u2019t necessarily need a determiner. For example:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Books are great presents.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">I love watching movies and playing games.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>These are grammatically correct without the inclusion of any determiners.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Demonstrative_Pronouns\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Demonstrative Pronouns<\/h2>\n<p>\nAnother type of determiner is the demonstrative pronoun. Like definite articles, demonstrative pronouns refer to <em>specific<\/em> nouns. In fact, demonstrative pronouns are even more specific than definite articles. There are four demonstrative pronouns: <em>this, that, these,<\/em> and <em>those<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Note that <em>this<\/em> and <em>that<\/em> are singular, while <em>these<\/em> and <em>those<\/em> are plural. <\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>This<\/strong> house is gigantic.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Can you bring me <strong>that<\/strong> cup of coffee?<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>These<\/strong> eggs are rotten.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>Those<\/strong> cicadas are incredibly loud!<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>In all of these sentences, we\u2019re talking about specific objects that we can see or point to.<\/p>\n<p>If we want to refer to how much of something or how little of something there is, we use quantifiers. Unlike articles and demonstrative pronouns, there are a vast number of quantifiers, including <em>few, a little, much, many, a lot of, most, some, any, enough,<\/em> and <em>all<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">There are <strong>many<\/strong> people in the auditorium.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>Most<\/strong> children like going to the zoo.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>Few<\/strong> spiders have lethal venom.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>All<\/strong> the money in the world won\u2019t buy happiness.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>If we want to show who owns or possesses a noun, <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/punctuation-errors-in-possessive-pronouns\/\">possessive pronouns<\/a> are the determiners we use. The possessive pronouns are <em>my, your, his, her, its, our,<\/em> and <em>their<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">I lost <strong>my<\/strong> favorite video game.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>Your<\/strong> cat is adorable.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>His<\/strong> garden isn\u2019t doing too well this year.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">Look at <strong>her<\/strong> car!<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\">The dog protects <strong>its<\/strong> family.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>Our<\/strong> hometown is quite small.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>Their <\/strong> delicious dish is made with beef and potatoes.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>Note here that possessive pronouns come before any modifying adjectives. For instance, we say \u201cI lost <strong>my favorite<\/strong> video game,\u201d not \u201cI lost <strong>favorite my<\/strong> video game.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Other_Rules\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Other Rules<\/h2>\n<p>\nNow that we\u2019re familiar with the different types of determiners, let\u2019s review some of the more important rules for using them:<\/p>\n<p>1. Like I mentioned earlier, determiners are required before <em>all<\/em> singular nouns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>The<\/strong> man walked down <strong>the<\/strong> road.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>2. Plural nouns do not require determiners. If no determiner is used, the meaning of the sentence will likely change.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>&#8220;The<\/strong> dogs are awesome!\u201d vs. \u201cDogs are awesome!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<p>The first sentence is referring to <em>specific<\/em> dogs: maybe your dogs or maybe the one you see on your route to work. Meanwhile, the second sentence is a general statement that refers to all dogs.<\/p>\n<p>3. If there is an adjective describing the noun, the determiner will come before the adjective.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\"><span class=\"transcriptcallout-text\"><strong>The<\/strong> cute kitten jumped on <strong>the<\/strong> red sofa.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Here, \u201ccute\u201d and \u201cred\u201d are adjectives describing \u201ckitten\u201d and \u201csofa,\u201d respectively. Note that the determiner for each noun is placed before both adjectives.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, it\u2019s important to know which determiners to use so we can easily clarify nouns and convey our thoughts as effectively as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this review was helpful!
