Determiners, Determiners are words which come before nouns determining or limiting, the use of the noun by giving some additional information. They indicate, the singularity or the plurality of a noun, amount or quantity of a noun,, possessive aspect of a noun, the number and order of a noun or the, distributive or demonstrative aspect of a noun. Adjectives and, determiners must be carefully distinguished from each other. An, adjective is used to limit the application of a noun by describing it i.e., by giving information about the size , colour, beauty, age and other such, qualities whereas a determiner is used to limit the application of a noun, without describing it. We don’t know anything about the quality of the, noun from a determiner., , Identify the Adjectives and the Determiners in the following, , brilliant students, , dull boy, , every citizen, , a few students, , second player, , responsible citizen, , his car, , good players, , any book, , comfortable car, , no player, , costly book, , every Indian, , much wealth, , pure water, , fresh milk, , ideal politician, , more water, , some milk, , many politicians, , several villages, , a boy, , old lady, , that pen, , all winners, , good novel, , black pen
