Question

HELLO ! Can you help me to find the determinant and determiner sorry im bad at englaish and also if I can use an other determinant if so what sense it give. THANKS!

In lockdown, life is necessarily small and shrunken, and perhaps the negative feelings we’ve managed to keep in abeyance can suddenly loom large. I think this may also explain why you are now feeling resentful of people having things you don’t. This is completely understandable and not a sign of a change in your personality – rather a reaction to a very difficult, but transient, situation.

Answer 1

https://www.ef.com/wwen/english-resources/english-grammar/determiners/ I would go to this EF web site and see the list of determiners. I would print a copy of this (or write it in your notebook) and keep it handy for reference so you can memorize the words.

The phrase determinant is usually used in math to define algebra terms. Check to see that these two words are not getting mixed up. Thanks! Courtney W.

Answer 2

Hello Zara,

Based on my understanding of determiners - that there are four main types: possessives, articles, quantifiers, and demonstratives - it seems like there are six determiners being used in the passage you provided. You may have to brush up on the definitions of these types of determiners, but once you've done that, you should easily be able to identify them in a sentence.

Possessive determiner - word used right before a noun that expresses possession. Ex: that's my toy!

Article determiner - word that indicates a general or specific noun is coming up in a sentence. Ex: I want a cup of water / Pass me the salt.

Quantitative determiner - word used right before a noun that expresses quantity. Ex: Grab a few pencils.

Demonstrative determiner - word used right before a noun to demonstrate the identity of a noun (this, that, those, these). Ex: Let's go to this movie theater.

Like I said, once you've reviewed these definitions and examples, you should have no problem identifying the determiners in the passage above. Good luck!
