Determiners — pin down the noun

Determiners come before nouns to make them specific. The most common kinds:

  • Articles: a, an, the
  • Possessives: my, your, his, her, our, their
  • Demonstratives: this, that, these, those
  • Quantifiers: some, many, few, all, every
Example
This book is my favourite. Some kids brought their tiffin.
💡 Tip:Determiners always sit before the noun (not after).
