1. DETERMINERS for secondary school students PRESENTED BY: V S UMADEVI TGT ENGLISH JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA BANGALORE RURAL

2. Think of a word that goes before a noun, that’s not an adjective, and makes a noun phrase. Do you know what it’s called? DETERMINERS I have lost my keys. Some folks get all the luck. Both windows were open.

3. What is a Determiner? A determiner is a word or a phrase that occurs together with a noun or noun phrase and serves to express the reference of that noun or noun phrase in the context i.e. a determiner may indicate whether a noun is referring to a definite or indefinite element of a class, to a closer or more distant element, to an element belonging to a specified person or thing, to a particular number or quantity, etc. Common kinds of determiners include definite and indefinite articles ( the and a or an ), demonstratives (this and that), possessive determiners (my and their), cardinal numerals, quantifiers (many, all and no), distributive determiners (each, any), and interrogative determiners (which). The function of determiners is to ‘express reference’ i.e. they clarify what a noun is referring to. For example: when one says ‘that box’, the listener knows which box is being referred to.

4. These are the different types of determiners: Articles:  a, an, the Demonstratives:  this, that, these, those Possessive Adjectives:  my, your, her, his, our, its, their Quantifiers:  a little, a few, many, much, a lot of, most, any, some, enough Numbers:  one, five, forty Distributives:  both, all, half, neither, either, every, each Interrogatives:  what, which, whose Here are some examples of determiners used with the noun ' house ':

5. Determiners are commonly used as part of noun phrases, which will also include a modifier (an adjective, another noun, a possessive form, or an adverb-adjective combination). Here are some examples of  noun phrases that consist of: determiner + modifier + noun

6. Articles a, an, the are the three kinds of Articles. Articles can be of two types: Indefinite and Definite articles. Indefinite Articles Definite Article

7. Indefinite Articles - ( a   and   an ).  It refers to an object not specifically known to the person we are communicating with. It is used before a singular countable noun. Used before number collectives and numbers Example: I read a book yesterday. The cook is wearing an apron The Camel drinks a gallon of water at a time NOTE: We do not use a/an with uncountable nouns such as: milk, water, sugar etc.

8. a – is used before words beginning with a consonant or a vowel with a consonant sound. Example: Universal(/ˌ juːnɪˈvɜːsl /) - Education should be a universal right and not a privilege. User(/ˈ juːzə (ɹ)/) – Is this a user friendly manual? Unique (/ ju ːˈ niːk /) – This is a unique jewelry an – is used before words beginning with a vowel (a, e, i , o, u) or words beginning with silent ‘h’ Examples: Mary worked for an hour He is an honest man An apple a day keeps the doctor away

9. Definite Article ( the ) • ‘ The ’ is called the definite article because it usually precedes a specific or previously mentioned noun The definite article ‘the’ is used when both the speaker and the listener know which noun is being referred to. Examples: I have to go to the bank Kushal has two pets; a cat and a dog. The cat is a Persian breed and the dog, a Labrador.

10. We use it to talk about geographical points on the globe. Example: The North Pole is not part of any nation, although Russia placed a titanium flag on it in 2007. Used to refer to a time period. Example: I am quite fresh and active in the morning . It is also used to refer to the best or the most famous Example: Sunsets are the most beautiful of all. This is the moment I was waiting for (implying the best moment of his life) Use to indicate all the members of a family. Example: I invited the Sharmas for dinner.

12. Demonstratives Demonstrative determiners are used to identify or point to a particular person, event, or object.  This  and  that  are singular. ````` These  and  those  are plural.

17. Quantifiers Quantifiers provide approximate or specific answers to the questions "How many?" and "How much?“ Some and any are used to indicate numbers. Usually some is affirmative and any is negative ‘Some or any’ both are used in interrogatives. Example: There is a lot of noise, are there some boys in the room? I do not have any money with me. I prefer a little  bit of  sugar  in my tea Quite  a few people  should be coming to the party I didn't take  many   holidays  last year I haven't brought  much   money  with me Do you think  a lot of people  believe what he says?
