Determiner
Sir,
Are determiners adjective or pronoun.
If ,supose ,they are adjective, then why some determiners take only singular countable noun ,while others take plural countbale nouns(Some take both singlural as well as plural countable noun like "some" ,"any").
As some where it was stated that adjective does not change if change the number of noun i.e
"old man" or "old men"
here adjective "old" does not change with the change of noun "man".
Thanks.
