Do you know

Hello Cafetalk Community!

How are you? Today, I want to talk about "countable" and "uncountable" nouns, because it makes a difference on the determiners that describe the nouns. This is why it is important to distinguish between "countable" and "uncountable" nouns.

If you didn't already know, "determiners" are words such as the, my, this, some, twenty, each, any, which are used before nouns.

Determiners include the following common types:

Articles: a/an, the

Demonstratives: this, that, these, those

Possessives: my, your, his, her, its, our, their, x’s (possessive ’s)

Quantifiers: (a) few, fewer, (a) little, many, much, more, most, some, any, etc.

Numbers: one, two, three, etc.

What do determinator's do?

Determiners have two main functions: referring and quantifying.

‘Quantifying’ means showing how much of something there is, or how many.

Sometimes we don’t use a determiner before the noun. We call this ‘zero determiners'.
