🔹 What are Determiners?
- Determiners are words placed before nouns to clarify which noun, how many, or whose.
- They modify nouns but do not describe them (adjectives describe, determiners specify).
- Without determiners, sentences may sound incomplete or unclear.
👉 Definition (Simple):
Determiners are words that introduce a noun and give more information about it.
🔹 Types of Determiners in English Grammar

- Example: A book, an apple, the sun
- Demonstratives – this, that, these, those
- Example: This car, those students
- Possessives – my, your, his, her, its, our, their
- Example: My house, her pen
- Quantifiers – some, many, few, several, much, little

🔹 Key Rules of Determiners
- A determiner always comes before a noun.
- One noun cannot take two determiners together (❌ the my book).
- Determiners are different from adjectives → Adjectives describe quality, determiners point out or specify.
- Every singular countable noun needs a determiner.
- ✅ A boy is playing.
- ❌ Boy is playing.
