DETERMINERS
WHAT IS A DETERMINER?
Determiner are words which come at the beginning of the noun phrase. They tell us whether the noun phrase is specific or general.
TYPE OF DETERMINERS:
DEFINITE ARTICLE: The / Ex: Close the door.
Possessives: my, your, his, her, its; our, their, whose / Ex: This is my house
Demonstratives: this, that, these, those / Ex: This camera is mine.
interrogative: which
WHAT DO DETERMINERS DO?
Determiners have two main functions: referring and quantifying.
Referring means showing us who or what the noun is pointing to or talking about. (Articles, possessives and demonstratives)
A: Where’s the newspaper? B: It’s on the sofa.
Quantifying’ means showing how much of something there is, or how many
Five people were arrested during an anti-war demonstration in London today. There are some letters here for you.
THE ORDER OF DETERMINERS:
PRE-DETERMINERS: Specify quantity in the noun which follows them, and they are of three major types:
1. Multiplying expressions, including expressins ending in times: twice my salary ◙ double my salary
2. Fractions: half my salary ◙ one-third my salary
3. The word all and both: all my salary ◙ both my salaries
CENTRAL- DETERMINERS: The definite article THE and the indefinite article A / AN are the most common central determiners.
Ex: all the book ◙ half a chapter
POST-DETERMINERS: Cardinal and ordinal numerals occupy the post-determiner slot: the two children ◙ his fourth birthday
NUMERALS AND DETERMINERS:
Numerals are determines when they appear before a noun.
In this position, cardinal numeral express quantity: one book ◙ twenty book
In this position, ordinal numerals express sequence: first impressions ◙ second chance
SUBCLASS - General ordinals: last, latter, next, previous and subsequent. next week ◙ last orders
PRONOUNS AND DETERMINERS:
Determiners always come before a noun, but pronouns are more independent than this.
They function in much the same way as nouns, and they can be replaced by nouns in the sentence: This is a very boring book.
EXAMPLE: That film is excellent ◙ Witness film is excellent
