Determiners and Quantifiers – o que são eles???

Determiners são palavras que vêm no início de uma Noun Phrase. Eles nos dizem se a Noun Phrase é específica ou geral. Determiners podem ser specific ou general.

  • Specific Determiners – Os Specific determiners são:
  1. O Artigo definido: THE
  2. Possessivos: MY, YOUR, HIS, HER, ITS, OUR, THEIR, WHOSE
  3. Demonstrativos: THIS, THAT, THESE, THOSE
  4. Interrogativos: WHICH

Usamos um Specific Determiner quando acreditamos que o ouvinte/leitor sabe exatamente o quê estamos nos referindo:

Can you pass me the salt please?

Look at those lovely flowers.

Thank you very much for your letter.

Whose coat is this?

  • General Determiners – Os General determiners são:
  1. A; AN; ANY; ANOTHER; OTHER; WHAT

Quando falamos sobre coisas em geral e o ouvinte/leitor não sabe exatamente o queê estamos nos referindo, podemos usar um uncount noun ou um plural noun with no determiner:

Milk is very good for you. (=uncount noun)

Health and education are very important. (=2 uncount nouns)

Girls normally do better in school than boys. (=plural nouns with no determiner)

…ou você pode usar um substantivo singular com o artigo indefinido A ou AN:

A woman was lifted to safety by a helicopter.

A man climbing nearby saw the accident.

Usamos o General determiner ANY com um substantivo singular ou não contável quando falamos sobre todas as pessoas ou coisas:

It’s very easy. Any child can do it. (= all children can do it)

With a full licence you are allowed to drive any car.

I like beef, lamb, pork – any meat.

Usamos o General determiner ANOTHER para falar sobre uma pessoa ou coisa adicional:

Would you like another glass of wine?

O plural de another é OTHER:

I spoke to John, Helen and a few other friends.

  • Quantifiers:

Usamos Quantifiers quando queremos dar a alguém a informação sobre o número de algo: how much e how many.
