Determiners

Determiners adalah kata yang diletakkan di depan nomina (nouns) yang berfungsi sebagai penanda (noun markers) yang memperjelas makna nomina tersebut. Misalnya kata “people” yang berarti orang, jika ditambah “these” di depannya menjadi “these people”, maka kita menjadi lebih tahu “people” yang mana yang dimaksud. Dan jika dikatakan “a lot of people”, maka kita tahu bahwa yang dimaksud adalah “people” yang jumlahnya banyak.

Yang termasuk dalam kategori determiners adalah sebagai berikut:
- Articles (the, a, an)
- Demonstratives (this, that, these, those)
- Possessives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their)
- Quantifiers (a few, a little, much, many, a lot of, most, some, any, enough, etc.)
- Numbers (one, ten, thirty, etc.)
- Distributives (all, both, half, either, neither, each, every)
- Difference words (other, another)
- Question words (which, what, whose)
- Defining words (which, whose)

Perbedaan Other, The Other, Another

Kata other, another, dan others dapat diartikan dengan : yang lain atau lainnya. Maka untuk menentukan bagaimana menggunakannya dengan tepat masing-masing kata itu harus diperhatikan empat hal.


1. Jika kata itu singular (tunggal) atau plural (jamak).
2. Jika kata itu definite –the- (tentu) atau indefinite –a- (tak tentu)
3. Jika kata itu berfungsi sebagai adjective yang menerangkan noun atau senantiasa bersama dengan noun.
4. Jika kata itu berfungsi sebagai pronoun yang dapat berdiri sendiri.
