SSWBAT:
7. List the 4 demonstratives.
This, that, these, those
– As determiners, the 4 demonstratives
begin a noun phrase: “this beautiful
flower,” “those brilliant grammar students”
SSWBAT:
8. Separate the determiner type of
demonstrative from demonstrative
pronouns, & provide the criterion for
making this decision.
Demonstratives
Demonstratives (determiners): This
pen is mine. Those words rhyme.
Demonstrative pronouns: This is
mine. Those rhyme.
Demonstratives
Demonstrative determiners precede a
noun in the noun phrase (NP).
Demonstrative pronouns are the noun
phrase. They don’t need an
accompanying noun to finish the NP.
SSWBAT:
9. State a common meaning-based
characteristic of possessives/
possessive determiners.
The teacher enjoys her students.
Jake and Dave love their grammar
textbook.
Possessive determiners
This is Julie’s favorite song.
That is her favorite song.
Her family loves music.
Possessive determiners indicate
ownership or membership.
SSWBAT:
10.Name the two forms that possessive
determiners can take.
a. Like a PRON: my, your, our, their, its
b. Noun + -’s (typical singular noun form) or
-s’(plural noun): boy’s, boys’, Mary’s
Determiners versus adjectives
Determiners precede adjectives in a
NP: The woman’s favorite coat,
Jake’s new hobby, their finest hour
Determiners generally don’t take the
comparative or superlative (-er,
-est/more, most).
Possessive determiner OR possessive pronoun?
Determiners, again, introduce a noun
phrase. Pronouns are a noun phrase.
My coat is on the floor. (determiner)
The coat on the floor is mine.
(pronoun)
Possessive determiner OR possessive pronoun?
Yours is next to the coffee pot.
– Pronoun
We’ll study for our next test together.
– Determiner
My shoelaces are dirtier than yours.
– Determiner, pronoun

– few, all, some, every, any, each, most, much, many, enough, several, little, both, no, either, neither
Quantifiers
Note: To be quantifiers (a type of
