Which demonstrative determiner correctly fills the blank: '__ flowers in my hand are for you.' (the flowers are nearby)?

Show answer

These

Step 1: Demonstrative determiners show whether something is near or far and whether it is singular or plural. Step 2: The flowers are nearby (the speaker is holding them), so we need 'this' or 'these' — not 'that' or 'those'. Step 3: 'Flowers' is a plural noun, so we need the plural form. Step 4: 'This' is used for singular nouns nearby (this flower), while 'these' is used for plural nouns nearby (these flowers). Step 5: Therefore, 'These flowers' is correct.

Identify the possessive determiner in the sentence: 'Their daughter Tanu is learning Kathak.'

Show answer

Their

Step 1: A possessive determiner shows ownership or belonging. Step 2: Common possessive determiners are: my, our, your, his, her, its, their. Step 3: In the sentence, 'Their' comes before the noun 'daughter' and shows that the daughter belongs to them. Step 4: 'Daughter' and 'Tanu' are nouns, not determiners. 'Learning' is a verb. Step 5: So 'Their' is the possessive determiner here.

Which quantifier should be used: 'There is __ milk in the fridge.' (a large quantity)?

Show answer

much

Step 1: Quantifiers tell us about the amount or number of something. Step 2: 'Milk' is an uncountable noun — you cannot count milk (one milk, two milks is wrong). Step 3: For uncountable nouns, we use quantifiers like 'much', 'a little', 'some'. Step 4: 'Many', 'few', and 'several' are used only with countable plural nouns (many bottles, few cups). Step 5: Since 'milk' is uncountable and the quantity is large, 'much' is the correct answer.

Which sentence uses the distributive determiner 'each' correctly?

Show answer

Each student must submit their work.

Step 1: 'Each' is a distributive determiner used to refer to individuals in a group, one by one. Step 2: 'Each' is always followed by a singular noun — we say 'each student', not 'each students'. Step 3: 'Each' is itself a determiner, so we do not add another determiner like 'the' or 'a' after it. Step 4: 'Each students' is wrong because 'students' is plural — the noun after 'each' must be singular. Step 5: So 'Each student' is the only grammatically correct option.
