Determiners



I often notice that, both in writing and speaking, you tend to use few determiners. I have also noticed that most of the times you tend to use them in exactly the same way you use them in your mother tongue. Perhaps it´s time we paid a little attention to them in English. The first link will lead you to a very good grammar page. Read everything carefully, you´ll certainly be surprised at the amount of things you already know. But I´m sure others will be completely new for you. Once you have understood the grammar, have a go at the exercises... Make sure you learn well those cases in which you omit the determiner or how many different types of determiners there are!
