Answer» Determiners are words placed in front of a noun to clarify what the noun refers to. Look at this sentence. ‘This laughter therapy also plays a crucial role in social bonding.’ Here the word ‘this’ refers to a particular noun – ‘laughter therapy’. Types of Determiners
An article is a word that modifies or describes the Noun. It is used before the noun to show whether it refers to something specific or not. So, in a way, articles can also be described as a type of adjectives as they also tell us something about the nouns, like adjectives. Determiners are a kind of noun modifier; they precede and are necessarily followed by nouns. While adjectives perform a similar function, the term ‘determiner’ refers to a relatively limited set of well-established words that can be said to ‘mark’ nouns. |
