    Pengertian Determiner

Determiner adalah kata atau kelompok kata yang ditempatkan di depan noun untuk membatasi makna noun tersebut. Di traditional grammar, determiner sering disebut limiting adjective, walaupun berbeda maknanya dengan adjective biasa.

    Determiner

Example Determiner : 

-         "I like each of these shirts."

-         "I'd like to visit every clothes shop in Milan."

-         "Which shirt do you prefer? Either is fine."

-         "We don't have enough time to go to all the clothes shops."

-         "I don't have much money on me today."

-         "He doesn't have many shirts for work."

-         "They have a few coats on sale."

    Each, every and either

Example :

-         "Each" identifies one of a group.

-         "Every" refers to all the components of the whole group.

-         "Every shoe shop in this town is expensive." ( = all the shoe shops are expensive).

-         "Each pair of shoes is hand-made." (= each separate pair is hand-made)

-         "Which one of these jumpers do you want? Either goes well with my jeans."

    A Few

Example :

-         "A few" means three or four, while "few" means one or two (= a smaller quantity that "a few").

-         A few + plural noun
"There are a few interesting boutiques on this road."

-         A few of + determiner + noun
"I want a few of these woollen scarves for winter."

-         Use "little" and "a little" with uncountable nouns.
"Little" is smaller quantity than "a little".

-         "We have a little time left. Lets go to M&S." (Maybe we have twenty minutes left.)

-         - "We have little time left before our train." (Maybe we only have ten minutes left.)
