3. DETERMINERS

4. 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.

5. TYPES OF DETERMINERS # Articles # Demonstrative # Possessives # Quantifier # Numerals # Distributives # Interogatives

6. An  article  is a kind of adjective which  is always used with and gives some information about a noun .

7. There are only two  articles  a and the, but they are used very often and are important for using English accurately .

8. 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.  

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Possessive determiners constitute 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

12. 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/thy  before a vowel). For details, see English personal pronouns.

13. A word expressing a number.
