INTRODUCTIO
A determiner is a word placed
Nfront of a noun to specify
in
quantity, (e.g., "one dog,"
"many dogs") or to clarify
what the noun refers to (e.g.,
"my dog," "that dog," "the
dog").
Articles
The Indefinite Article (A,
An)and "an" are called the indefinite articles. They define their
"A"
noun as something unspecific (e.g., something generic, something
mentioned for the first time).
Example:
“This is a lake.”
(This is a previously unspecified lake.)
“Buy a house in an hour.”

(House and hour start with the same three letters, but “house”
attracts “a”, and “hour” attracts “an”. “House” starts with a
consonant sound. “Hour” starts with a vowel sound.)
Articles
Definite Article (The)
"The" is called the definite article. It defines its noun as something
specific (e.g., something previously mentioned or known,
something unique, something being identified by the speaker).
Example:
“This is the lake.”
(This is a previously specified lake, i.e., one already known to the
readers.)
Demonstratives
The demonstrative determiners (known as demonstrative
adjectives in traditional grammar) are this, that, these, and those. A
demonstrative determiner defines where its noun or pronoun is in
relation to the speaker.
“This” and “these” define close things (in terms of distance,
psychological closeness or time). “That” and “those” define distant
things.
Possessive
The possessive determiners (known as possessive adjectives in
traditional grammar) are my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and
whose. A possessive determiner sits before a noun (or a pronoun)
to show who or what owns it.
(1) Use “their”.

“Each owner is responsible for their dog.”
(Using “their” to refer to a singular noun (here, owner) is
acceptable. This is the best option.)
(2) Use his/her.

“Each owner is responsible for his/her dog.”
(This is acceptable, but it's clumsy.)
Quantifiers
Any determiner that refers, even loosely, to an amount or a
quantity can be classified as a quantifier. So, numbers (one dog,
two dogs) are quantifiers. Not all quantifiers are so specific
though. Many refer to an undefined amount or quantity. The most
common ones are any, all, many, much, several and some (these
are called indefinite adjectives in traditional grammar).
Note!
1. Unlike a normal
adjective, a determiner
cannot have a
comparative form.
2. Unlike a normal
adjective, a determiner
often cannot be
removed from the
sentence.
