Determiners are words like much, many, some or all. They go at the beginning of noun phrases; however, they are not exactly adjectives. While adjectives have positive, comparative and superlative forms, many determiners do not have such forms. There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, the word little has comparative and superlative forms – less and least. Likewise, much and many have comparative and superlative forms – more and most.
As per CBSE’s new guidelines, the Class 10 Term 1 English exam will have only multiple choice questions. Prepare for your English exam with our grammar MCQs. This worksheet tests your understanding of determiners. You can learn more about determiners here.
