Determiners are small words that come before a noun to tell us more about it. Use "a" or "an" when talking about one general thing, like "a book." Use "this" or "that" to point out something specific, such as "this toy" in your hand or "that bird" in the sky. For example: "I see a big dog and that dog is happy!"

Frequently asked questions
What are determiners in a sentence?
How is a determiner different from an adjective?
Choose a word that introduces or points to a noun
Determiners appear before nouns. A and an introduce one general item (“a book,” “an apple”); the points to a specific one. This and that can point to a noun, as in “this toy” or “that bird.”
Read the noun and the rest of its sentence to decide whether the word introduces something general or points to something specific. Related adjective practice focuses on words that describe nouns; the 1st grade grammar page lists the other available skills.
