Lesson : Determiners
Periods Allocation : 02 periods
Duration : 40 minutes (per period)
Class : Year 7
Teaching Aids : workbook, textbook flashcards
Objectives : Upon successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to:
Identify the four types of determiners
Use them in the construction of sentences.
Step 1: Introduction
Use flashcards (types of determiners) and engage with children in a discussion to elicit any prior
knowledge. Give them an example under each type and thereafter get them to write examples on
a4 sheets and come to the board to paste them under the relevant type of determiner.
You can also get them to come to the board and construct sentences using determiners and ask
the other students to guess their determiner.

Step 2
Give children the notes and examples to copy down.

Children should complete the comprehension, ‘The man eating tiger’ in order to do the
workbook activities based on determiners.
Determiners
What are determiners?
A determiner is a word that introduces a noun. It always comes before a noun, not after, and it
also comes before any other adjectives used to describe the noun.
E.g. The bunny went home.
There are four different types of determiners in English:
1. Articles
2. Demonstratives
3. Quantifiers
4. Possessives.
1. Articles
Articles are among the most common of the determiners. There are three singular articles: a, an,
and the. Articles specify (or determine) which noun the speaker is referring to. (a, an and the) are
determiners. A and an are called indefinite articles because a/an means any; not a particular one.
They are used before singular nouns. While a is used before consonant sounds, an is used before
vowel sounds.
A dog is a good pet.
The is called definite article because the means a particular one. The is used before any kind of
noun when it means the particular one(s).
2. Demonstratives
Demonstratives (this, these, that and those) are also determiners. While this and these point out
to something close by, that and those point out to something at a distance.
This and that are singular.
These and those are plural.
