Understanding Determiners
In the sentence "___ people enjoy watching movies," we need to choose the correct determiner to complete the thought. The options are a) Some, b) An, c) Every, and d) These. Let's break down why "Some" is the most appropriate choice.
Why "Some" is Correct
- Indefinite Reference:
- The word "some" is an indefinite determiner, which means it refers to an unspecified quantity. It suggests that a portion of people enjoys movies, but not all.
- Inclusivity:
- Using "some" allows for a broad range of people to be included. It captures the idea that among many, there are those who enjoy watching movies, making it relatable.
Why Other Options are Incorrect
- Option b: An
- "An" is used for singular nouns that start with a vowel sound. "People" is plural, so this option does not fit.
- Option c: Every
- "Every" implies that all individuals in a group enjoy watching movies, which is too strong of a statement and likely not true.
- Option d: These
- "These" refers to specific people who are nearby or previously mentioned, which does not apply in this general statement.
Conclusion
In summary, "Some" is the correct determiner because it effectively communicates that a certain, unspecified number of people enjoy watching movies without making an absolute claim. This makes the statement more inclusive and realistic.

Choose the correct determiner: "___ book on the shelf is mine."
  • a)
    A
  • b)
    An
  • c)
    The
  • d)
    This
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The correct determiner depends on the context of the sentence. Determiners include words like "a," "an," "the," "this," "that," "these," "those," "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," "their," "some," "any," "no," "many," "few," "several," "each," "every," "which," "what," and "whose."

  • c)
    this

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Articles: "an" vs. "the"
When filling in the blank in the sentence "Can I have ___ apple, please?", the correct choice is "an". Here's why:
1. Article "an"
- "An" is an indefinite article used before words that start with a vowel sound.
- Since the word "apple" begins with a vowel sound (/ˈæp.əl/), "an" is the appropriate choice.
- This indicates that the speaker is requesting one apple, but does not specify which one.
2. Why Not "the"?
- "The" is a definite article. It refers to a specific item that is known to both the speaker and the listener.
- In this context, the speaker is not referring to a specific apple, thus "the" would not fit.
3. Why Not "this"?
- "This" indicates a specific object that is close in proximity.
- The sentence does not imply that the speaker is pointing to a specific apple.
4. Why Not "some"?
- "Some" is used when referring to an unspecified quantity of something, often more than one.
- Here, the request is for a single apple, making "some" unsuitable.
Conclusion
- The correct choice is "an" because it appropriately fits the context of requesting one unspecified apple.
- Understanding the use of articles can greatly improve clarity in communication.

What is a determiner?
  • a)

  • b)

  • c)

  • d)

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?
