| Determiners can be split into different categories. Ones that show ownership eg my, his, our etc Ones that introduce a question eg whose, what, which etc Ones that indicate a specific noun eg this, that, those Ones that show a number eg many, few, three etc Write a heading for each group and underline it. Then write as many determiners as you can think of for that category. You could use a dictionary. | ||
