Exam Tips and Strategies
- —Know All Seven Types: Make sure you can identify and explain all seven types of determiners with examples.
- —Countable vs Uncountable: Always determine if a noun is countable or uncountable before choosing a quantifier (many/much, few/little).
- —Article Rules: Remember 'a' before consonants, 'an' before vowel sounds. Don't confuse sounds with letters.
- —Demonstrative Distance: This/These = near, That/Those = far. Also remember singular/plural forms.
- —Possessive Determiners: Use before nouns (my book, his pen). Don't confuse with possessive pronouns (mine, his as pronoun).
- —Distributive Agreement: Every, each, either, neither are always followed by singular verbs.
- —Common Mistakes: 'Many information' (wrong), 'A apple' (wrong), 'These book' (wrong), 'Every students' (wrong).
- —Context Clues: Look at the noun in the sentence to determine which determiner to use.
- —Error Identification: When correcting sentences, identify the determiner and explain why it's wrong and what it should be.
