Determiners Determiners  are words that introduce a  noun  and provide some information about it (but do  NOT describe it ).  Examples:  the  ball ,  his  son ,  five  cats ,  more  cars .
How do we identify a  determiner ? If a word can appear here  _______ , it is a determiner:  1.  ________   any common  noun Examples:  The  thing,  his  things,  five  things,  some  things,  many  things,  a  thing,  several  things,  few  things,  each  thing,  those  things,  their  things, etc.  Note:  some determiners, like   “ much ”, may only introduce  noncount nouns .
There are four types of  determiners :  Articles     Possessives     Demonstratives   Quantifiers
Articles There are only three articles in English:  The ,  a ,  an
“ the ” is called the  Definite Article :  It  normally  introduces a noun that is familiar to the listener.  Example:  The  earth is round.  “ the ” may introduce either a  singular  or a  plural  noun.  “ a ” or “ an ” are called the  Indefinite Article : “ a ” or “ an ” normally introduce a noun that is not yet familiar to the listener.  Example:  I saw  a  new movie.  “ a ” or “ an ” may only introduce a  singular  noun.
What is the difference between “ a ” and “ an ”? “ a ” precedes words that start with a  consonant sound . Examples:  a  table,  a  chair,  and also…  a  eulogy  “ an ” precedes words that start with a  vowel sound .  Examples:  an  apple,  an  umbrella, and also…  an  hour
Demonstratives  Demonstratives  are words that are used to  point  at someone or something (whether it’s concrete or abstract).  Examples:  that  book;  this  time;  these  ideas;  those  chairs There are only four  demonstratives  in English:
Singular  Demonstratives :   This   That   Plural  Demonstratives :  These     Those
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Is the underlined word a  determiner ?  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Possessives Possessives are words that usually indicate  possession  or  belonging  of a noun.  Examples:  his  birthday,  Sam’s  book,  her  idea,  New York’s  subway  There are two kinds of  possessives :  1.  possessive  determiner pronouns 2.  possessive  determiner proper nouns
Possessive  Pronouns ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Another way to test if a possessive pronoun is a  determiner  or not: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Possessive  Proper Nouns A proper noun with apostrophe ‘s is a “ possessive  proper noun ”  Examples:  Mary’s  car,  CUNY’s  students,  Mr. Smith’s  wife  (Note: These are  Determiners , and NOT proper  nouns ).
Quantifiers ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
To conclude ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Test for  Nouns - Revisited ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Now we can generalize our three tests:  Any   determiner   ______________ If a word can appear immediately following a  determiner  and the result is a grammatical phrase, then that word is a  noun .
Identify the determiners and say what kind of determiner it is: 1. Many New Yorkers spend the winter in Florida.  2. His grandmother came to the U.S. on a boat. 3. Jerry is an accomplished pianist who plays in the best concert halls  4. My son has outgrown those shoes. 5. We bought these gifts in that store. 6. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.  7. Last night, my son and his girlfriend picked up their theatre tickets
1. Delta’s pilots received a well-deserved salary raise. 2. Janet’s biggest fear is that her car would break down  on the highway  3. A basic principle of investing is that you don’t put all your money in one basket. 4. Neither team was able to score a goal at the game. 5. The hurricane broke seven windows in the basement 6. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?  7. There are several reasons for my absence yesterday.

  • 1. Determiners Determiners are words that introduce a noun and provide some information about it (but do NOT describe it ). Examples: the ball , his son , five cats , more cars .

If a word can appear here _______ , it is a determiner: 1. ________ any common noun Examples: The thing, his things, five things, some things, many things, a thing, several things, few things, each thing, those things, their things, etc. Note: some determiners, like “ much ”, may only introduce noncount nouns .
  • 3. There are four types of determiners : Articles Possessives Demonstratives Quantifiers
  • 4. Articles There are only three articles in English: The , a , an
  • 5. “ the ” is called the Definite Article : It normally introduces a noun that is familiar to the listener. Example: The earth is round. “ the ” may introduce either a singular or a plural noun. “ a ” or “ an ” are called the Indefinite Article : “ a ” or “ an ” normally introduce a noun that is not yet familiar to the listener. Example: I saw a new movie. “ a ” or “ an ” may only introduce a singular noun.
  • 6. What is the difference between “ a ” and “ an ”? “ a ” precedes words that start with a consonant sound . Examples: a table, a chair, and also… a eulogy “ an ” precedes words that start with a vowel sound . Examples: an apple, an umbrella, and also… an hour
  • 7. Demonstratives Demonstratives are words that are used to point at someone or something (whether it’s concrete or abstract). Examples: that book; this time; these ideas; those chairs There are only four demonstratives in English:

  • 12.
