Determiners : a/an and the ; my , your , etc; this , that , etc introductionDeterminers: a/an and the; my, your, etc; this, that, etc Section 12 Determiners: a/an and the; my, your, etc; this, that, etcintroductionWhat are determiners? Determiners are words that come at the beginning of noun phrases, before any adjectives. They mostly show which or how much/many we are talking about.the managerthis houseevery weeka nice daysome problemsenough oilmy fat old cateither armseveral young studentsThey fall into two main groups from a grammatical point of view.Articles (a/an and the), possessives (my, your, etc) and demonstratives (this, that, etc).These help to show which members or which part of a class or category we are talking about. Possessives and demonstratives are called 'adjectives' in older grammars and dictionaries, but they are quite different from adjectives.Quantifiers (e.g. all, some, each, much, most, several) and one or two others.These mostly show how much or how many we are talking about.The first group are covered in this Section, and the others in Section 13.articlesArticle use is one of the most difficult points in English grammar, particularly for learners whose languages do not have article systems. Articles are difficult for several reasons:The two articles (and the use of no article or 'zero article') express several different meanings, and it is not always possible to draw clear lines between them.These meanings are relatively abstract and not easy to explain.Languages which have articles (e.g. French, Swedish, Portuguese) do not always use them in the same way as their English equivalents, especially when talking about things in general (140).Sometimes article use is more a matter of vocabulary than grammar: we happen to use the in one expression, and a or no article in another similar expression, for no very good reason.on the radio on TVI've got backache. (BrE)I've got a headache.We took a wrong turning and went to the wrong address.However, much article use is regular; and the explanations in the following entries should help a good deal. Also, article mistakes do not usually matter very much for practical purposes: they rarely cause misunderstandings.possessives: terminology There are problems of terminology with possessives. My, your, etc (143) are sometimes called 'possessive adjectives', while mine, yours, etc (176) are generally called 'possessive pronouns'. In fact, both types of possessive are pronouns, because they stand for noun phrases. My replaces the noun phrase the speaker's; mine replaces the more complex noun phrase the speaker's possession. The real difference is that my, etc function as determiners in noun phrases while mine, etc are free-standing, used instead of noun phrases. None of this matters much from a practical point of view: the important thing is to use possessives correctly, not to worry about what they are called. Do you know what's wrong with these, and why?
