Explanation:

Determiners are words used to introduce nouns or noun phrases. They always come before them. They are necessary when it comes to introducing singular nouns, but optional when it comes to plural nouns.

Depending on their meaning, there are several types of determiners. Some of them are the indefinite and definite articles, quantifiers, demonstratives, numbers, distributives, interrogatives, possessive demonstratives, etc.

Possessive determiners answer the question whose? (Whose friend? My friend. Whose house? Her house. and so on).

Quantifying determiners (quantifiers) state precisely or suggest approximately the amount or the number of a noun. An example of a quantifying determiner is every - every day.

Numbers are words used to express an exact quality or amount (How many brothers? Two brothers).

Demonstratives show where something is in relation to the speaker (e.g. that way vs this way)
