Grammar

I am your biggest fan. Isn't 'the' needed before 'biggest'. thanks

Hi, No, that would be ungrammatical. I am your the biggest fan . The reason for this is that your and the are both so-called determiners, typically words like the , a, an and this, that, these, those, some, any, no, each, either, neither, every, etc.

- Most grammars classify possessives (such as your ) as determiners as well.
- The cannot be used here because the place where determiners go (usually right before the noun) can only be used by one determiner at a time.
