What is 'Determiners' and its use in written and Spoken English


What is 'Determiners'?

Determiners are words that come before nouns to give more information about them. They help us understand whether we are talking about something specific or something general. In English, determiners include articles (like "a" and "the"), demonstratives (like "this" and "those"), possessives (like "my" and "your"), and quantifiers (like "some" and "many").


Usage Examples:

1. This book is interesting.

यह किताब दिलचस्प है।


2. Many people attended the event.

कई लोग कार्यक्रम में शामिल हुए।


3. My car is parked outside.

मेरी कार बाहर खड़ी है।


Key Mistakes:

1. Forgetting to use a determiner: Saying "I saw dog" instead of "I saw a dog."
2. Using the wrong determiner: Saying "I want the apples" when you mean "I want some apples."
3. Confusing singular and plural forms: Saying "I have many book" instead of "I have many books."

Understanding and using determiners correctly can greatly improve your English in both writing and speaking!
