Determiners that help us identify WHAT SOMETHING IS<\/strong>, whether we are being specific or general:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Articles \u2013 a\/an, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possessives \u2013 my, your, his, her, its, our, their, whose<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demonstratives \u2013 this, these, that, those<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determiners that help us identify HOW MANY<\/strong> we are talking about – we also call these quantifiers, as they quantify nouns:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Some, any, no<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each, every, either, neither<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much, many, more, most<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All, both<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
