6 Determiners Determiners are words such as this, those, my, their, which. They are special adjectives that are used before nouns. The Articles The words a, an and the belong to this group of words called determiners. The words a and an are called indefinite articles. You can use them with singular nouns to talk about any single person or thing. Can you hear a bird singing ? Do you wear a uniform to school? This is a picture of an elephant. Rudy is reading a book. Mom bought me a new dress today. You will need an umbrella when you go out. She eats an apple a day. Grammar Help The article an is usually used before words beginning with vowels. The article a is used before words beginning with consonants. 71
The word the is called the definite article. Use the before a noun when you are talking about a certain person or thing. The telephone is ringing. Tom has won the race. Granny is sitting in the garden. The street is very busy today. The sky is getting dark. Where’s the cat? I think she is under the bed. The ice is melting. Grammar Help You also use the before a noun when there is only one. For example: the sun the moon the sky the front door of my house 72
