Easy English Grammar Explanation <br /> <br />What Are Determiners? <br /> <br />https://www.facebook.com/pg/en....glishlearningforfree <br /> <br />The determiners, give a determination about a noun, and they give an information about a noun. They are used before the noun. They show the function of the noun. They show how the noun is used in a context. They show how that particular noun, is related to the rest of the text, and as such, are different from adjectives. <br /> <br />They do two things. The first thing is they identify things. The second is they quantify things, or show the number of things involved. <br /> <br />Determiners as IDENTIFIERS are giving more details about a noun. <br /> <br />For example, if you say 'this car', the determiner shows which car you are talking about. That determiner is called demonstrative, because it demonstrates something about a noun, 'this car'. It identifies the car you are talking about. <br />Determiners can also play a possessive role. For example, when you say 'my car', it shows that you possess or own the car. This also is an identifying determiner, because it identifies which car. <br /> <br />When an article is used to show a specific thing, for example 'the car', it also is an identifying determiner, because it shows one specific car. <br /> <br />Determiners as QUANTIFIERS, show a number about things. <br />When a determiner is used as a quantifier, it shows how many things, you are talking about. For example, when you say 'two cars', it shows the number or the quantity of the cars, you are talking about.
