Lesson details
Key learning points
- Determiners are a word class.
- A determiner introduces a noun in a clause or phrase.
- Determiners can be articles or possessive pronouns.
- Articles determine the specificity of a noun whilst possessive pronouns determine the owner of a noun.
- A determiner may be followed by an adjective or pair of adjectives then the noun.
Common misconception
Pupils may find it difficult to connect the determiner to the noun when adjectives are in between.
Remind pupils that adjectives describe nouns - can they spot the noun the adjectives describe to help them find the determiner?
