6 - Determiners
In English, there is often a word which can come before the noun (or adjective + noun), which tells us:
Something is new – an interesting subject
Something has already been mentioned, or is familiar - the subject
How many things there are – Six subjects, a few subjects, no subjects
Which thing is being described – this subject, that subject, those subjects
Where (in a sequence) the thing is – the first subject, the next subject
Whose thing it is – my subject, your subject
These words are called DETERMINERS, and they come before a noun and make clear which noun is being referred to, or give information about number or quantity.
