Free 5th Grade Determiners: A or An, This or Those, Fewer or Less Worksheet

Students learn that determiners are the small words before a noun that tell us which one, how many or whose. They choose a or an by the sound that follows, use this, that, these and those for near and far, single and plural, choose between many and much, fewer and less, and few and little, then find every determiner in a sentence and use them in their own writing.
