The different types of determiners are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i. Articles<br>ii. Possessives<br>iii. Demonstratives<br>iv. Distributives<br>v. Quantifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Articles\"><strong>Articles<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Articles are determiners that indicate whether a noun is specific\/definite (using the) or general\/indefinite (using a\/an). While this appears to be simple in theory, in practice it can be a little more difficult due to some confusing rules to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Indefinite\/unspecific<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The indefinite article is used before a singular countable noun when it is mentioned for the first time. <em>Eg. I bought <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a<\/span> new computer<\/em>.<\/li><li>When expressing &#8216;quantity&#8217; or &#8216;certain numbers,&#8217; use the indefinite articles a and an. <em>Eg. I gave him <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a<\/span> lot of work.<\/em><\/li><li>To identify an unknown person or to express a special meaning, use the indefinite articles a and a before a proper noun. <em>Eg. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A<\/span> Rahul phoned me in the morning.<\/em><\/li><li>Use the indefinite articles a and a before nouns in exclamations. <em>Eg. What <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a<\/span> beautiful place!<\/em><\/li><li>The sound of the first letter of a word determines whether to use &#8220;a&#8221; or &#8220;an&#8221;. If the word begins with a vowel sound, use &#8220;an&#8221;. If it begins with a consonant sound, use &#8220;a&#8221;. Concentrate on sounds, not just the beginning letter. <em>Eg. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A<\/span> horse can do the work of many men in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">an<\/span> hour.<\/em><\/li><li>The indefinite articles a and an are singular, which means they can be used with singular countable nouns.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Definite\/specific<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To refer to something that has already been mentioned, we use the definite article &#8220;the.&#8221; <em>Eg. I met a woman yesterday. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The<\/span> woman is a foreigner.<\/em><\/li><li>When both the speaker and listener understand what is being referred to, even if it has not been mentioned previously, we use the definite article &#8220;the.&#8221; <em>Eg. I have seen <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the<\/span> video you sent.<\/em><\/li><li>In sentences or clauses where we define or identify a specific person or object, we use the definite article &#8220;the.&#8221; <em>Eg. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The<\/span> man who wrote <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the<\/span> book is no more.<\/em><\/li><li>To refer to objects that are unique, we use the definite article &#8220;the.&#8221; <em>Eg. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The<\/span> sun.<\/em><\/li><li>Before superlatives and ordinal numbers, we use the definite article &#8220;the.&#8221; <em>Eg. He is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the<\/span> best player in the team. \/ He came on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the<\/span> first day of the month.<\/em><\/li><li>When referring to a large group of people, nationalities, or races, we use the definite article &#8220;the.&#8221; <em>Eg. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The<\/span> Indians. \/ <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The<\/span> Mongoloids.<\/em><\/li><li>With decades or groups of years, we use the definite article &#8220;the.&#8221; <em>Eg. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The<\/span> 90s was a difficult time.<\/em><\/li><li>The definite article &#8220;the&#8221; is used for both singular and plural countable nouns. It is also appropriate for some uncountable nouns.<\/li><li>&#8220;The&#8221; is generally not used before proper or abstract nouns unless it is necessary to identify those nouns in a specific context.<\/li><li>&#8220;The&#8221; is also not used before plural countable nouns when they are referred to in general. <em>Eg.

They indicate time (tense) and are limited by the subject&#8217;s number, person, and gender. In some cases, a finite verb is the only main verb in a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Eg. I <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">gave<\/span> her a book.<\/em> [Here, reading the verb &#8216;gave&#8217; gives us the idea that the tense of the sentence is past. So, it&#8217;s a finite verb.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Person, number, and tense are not shown in non-finite verbs. They don&#8217;t say anything about the subject&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eg. I wanted to give her a book. [Here, although the sentence is past, we&#8217;ve used &#8216;to give&#8217;. &#8216;Give&#8217; here doesn&#8217;t tell us anything about tense. However, &#8216;wanted&#8217; indicates the sentence is in past tense. So, &#8216;wanted&#8217; is a finite verb and &#8216;to give&#8217; is a non-finite verb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A. Underline the verbs in the sentences, Write I for non-finite verbs and F for finite verbs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Dancing<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">is<\/span> Tina&#8217;s favourite hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.
