a | every + SINGULAR NOUN

In English grammar, determiners are words that introduce and provide context to a noun, often in terms of quantity and possession. A “quantifying determiner” is a type of determiner that conveys “how much” or “how many”.

When it comes to singular nouns, the quantifying determiners ‘a’ and ‘every’ are commonly used:

  1. A: This is an indefinite article that is used before singular, countable nouns. It is used when the noun referred to is not specific. For example, in the sentence “I saw a bird in the park”, ‘a’ is used before ‘bird’ because we are not referring to a specific bird.
  2. Every: This determiner is used before singular nouns to mean “each one without exception”. It refers to all the members of a group. For example, in the sentence “Every student must submit their assignment on time”, ‘every’ is used before ‘student’ to refer to all students in a particular group or class.

Remember, ‘a’ can be used with any singular noun (as long as it’s countable), but ‘every’ should be used with singular nouns that represent a whole group or class.
