Determiner Definition

Determiners are used in front of nouns to indicate whether you are referring to something specific or something of a particular type.

Common kinds of determiners include definite and indefinite articles (like the English the and a or an), demonstratives (this and that), possessives (my and their), quantifiers (many, few and several), numerals (three, twenty), and interrogatives (which).
