Content :
Distributive determiners are words that refer to individual members of a group or a whole group, depending on the context. Here are some examples that might help you understand better:
- Each – This determiner refers to every individual member of a group.
Example: Each student in the class has a different favorite color.
- Every – This determiner refers to all members of a group.
Example: Every car in the parking lot has a license plate.
- Either – This determiner refers to one of two things.
Example: You can have either the chocolate cake or the vanilla cake for dessert.
- Neither – This determiner refers to none of two things.
Example: Neither of the two restaurants was open for lunch.
- Both – This determiner refers to two things together.
Example: Both cats were sleeping in the sunbeam.
So, distributive determiners can help us to be specific about whether we’re referring to one member of a group, all members of a group, or a specific number of members within a group
