DETERMINERS

Determiners are the words that decide or fix the meaning of a noun. Thus, determiners are words that decide the limit or determine something about a noun or a pronoun that follows.
They are small words used before nouns to answer questions like:
- Which one?
- How many?
- Who?
Determiners are not adjectives because they do not describe a noun. They simply identify or
specify a noun in some way.

Read the following sentences.
1. I have a few pens with me.
2. She put some oil in the frying pan.
3. There are many windows in this house.
4. She has spent a great deal of time in the East.

All the highlighted words determine the quantity of anything talked about in the sentence.
Therefore, we call them determiners or quantifiers or quantifier determiners.
Some of the quantifiers are—a little, a few, some, any, many, more, much, no, a great deal of, a lot of, etc.

There are two types of determiners.
- Indefinite determiners: These include determiners ‘a’ and ‘an’, indefinite numerals (like many and some), distributive numerals (like each, either, and neither) and quantities
(like little, enough, and some).
- Definite determiners: These include the determiner ‘the’, definite numerals (like one, first, and once), possessives (like my, your, our, his, her, and their) and demonstratives
(like this, that, these, and those).

Determiners are broadly classified into the following categories:
