This article has been updated and migrated to: Determiners are also called “limiting adjectives” on the CXC English Official Website.
Determiners that help us identify WHAT SOMETHING IS, whether we are being specific or general:
Articles – a/an, the
Possessives – my, your, his, her, its, our, their, whose
Demonstratives – this, these, that, those
Determiners that help us identify HOW MANY we are talking about – we also call these quantifiers, as they quantify nouns:
Some, any, no
Each, every, either, neither
Much, many, more, most
All, both
Quantifiers can’t be used interchangeably, for example, “some” is used for affirmative sentences, “any” with questions and negatives; much with uncountable nouns, many with countable nouns, and so on.
