डिस्ट्रीब्यूटिव्स, यानी वितरक शब्द, अंग्रेजी व्याकरण में वह भाग होते हैं जो बताते हैं कि चीजों का वितरण किस प्रकार से किया जाता है। जैसे, ‘each’, ‘every’, ‘either’, ‘neither’, आदि। ये शब्द बताते हैं कि हर एक इकाई का अलग अलग तरीके से विचार किया जा रहा है या उनका समूहिक रूप से। इस तरह के शब्दों का सही प्रयोग न केवल वाक्य का अर्थ स्पष्ट करता है, बल्कि भाषा का सही ज्ञान भी प्रदर्शित करता है।
इस अभ्यास के द्वारा हम वितरक शब्दों का प्रयोग करने में दक्षता प्राप्त करने की कोशिश करेंगे। व्यायाम के प्रत्येक वाक्य में एक रिक्त स्थान होगा और आपको उसे सही वितरक शब्द से भरना होगा। यह अभ्यास आपको न सिर्फ उचित शब्द चयन में सहायता करेगा बल्कि अंग्रेजी भाषा के प्रवाह में भी सुधार लाएगा।
