What are the distributive determiners in English?

Distributive determiners in English are words that refer to individual members of a group or distribute the meaning of a noun to each member of a group. They include "each," "every," "either," and "neither." These determiners emphasize the individuality or separate consideration of each item or person in a group. For example, in the sentence "Each student must bring their own supplies," the determiner "each" emphasizes that every student individually needs to bring their own supplies. Similarly, in the sentence "Every child received a gift," the determiner "every" emphasizes that each child individually received a gift.
