Determiners are always followed by a noun. It tells us whether the noun is specific or general (noe spesefikt/bestemt eller generelt).
We use specific determiners when we believe the listener knows what we are talking about. Where is your book? Can you pass me the salt? Look at those lovely flowers. Thank you very much for your letter. Whose hat is this? The general determiners are an, a, any, another, other, what.
