How do we use the distributive determiners?

Distributive determiners are used to refer to individual members of a group or to distribute something among a group of people or things. They include words such as each, every, either, neither, and both.

We use distributive determiners in the following ways:

1. Each: It refers to every individual member of a group separately. For example, "Each student must complete their assignment."

2. Every: It refers to all the members of a group individually. For example, "Every house on the street has a garden."

3. Either: It refers to one of two options. For example, "You can either have tea or coffee."

4. Neither: It refers to none of the two options. For example, "Neither of the books is interesting."

5. Both: It refers to two or more things or people together. For example, "Both of my parents are doctors."

These distributive determiners help to specify the quantity or distribution of something within a group or between options.
