Using Determiners with Nouns
Determiners tell if the reference is specific or nonspecific. They indicate how much or how many, whose, which one, and
similar information about noun that follows.

Types of Determiners
1. Articles (a, an, the)
• The indefinite articles a or an signal that the reference is non specific or general.
• The definite article the signals that the reference is specific.
2. Possessive pronouns (my, our, your, his, her, its, their)
3. Relative pronouns (whose, which, wh
4. Demonstratives (this, these, that, those)
• Singular: this and that
• Plural: these and those
5. Indefinite pronouns (any, each, few, other, some, etc.)
6. Cardinal Numbers (one, two, three, etc.)
7. Ordinal Numbers (last, first, second, etc.)
8. Possessive proper nouns (Bob’s, Sarah’s, America’s) Guide to using Determiners:
1. Generally, singular proper nouns do not use articles. However, plural and collective proper nouns generally use the
article the.
Example: England is a great place to visit. (Not The England)

2. Use a or an when referring to a nonspecific common noun. Remember to use a before a consonant sound and an
before a vowel sound.
Example: John carried a box for Mrs. Jones.

Example: Sarah drove the dog to Dr. Smith’s office.

A possessive pronoun (my, our, your, his, her, its, their)
Example: I left my book at their house.
A relative pronoun (whose, which, whichever, what, whatever)
Example: Whose car is parked behind the building?
The singular demonstrative pronouns this or that
Example: This summer John agreed to cut down that tree.
An indefinite pronoun (any, some, every, each, either, neither, other, another)
Example: Each student is expected to attend every class.
A cardinal number (one)
Example: Sarah arranged for one box to be delivered.
An ordinal number (last, (the) first, second, third, etc.)
Example: John is the first student to arrive.
A possessive proper noun
Example: Sarah’s son will graduate in May.
5. Use one of the following before plural countable nouns:
No article
Example: Oranges provide a great source of vitamin C.
The article the
Example: The trees are blocking the beautiful view.
A possessive pronoun (my, our, your, his, her, its, their)
Example: Her children are reading their books.
A relative pronoun (whose, which, whichever, what, whatever)
Example: Which boxes need to be moved?
The plural demonstrative pronouns these or those
