Specific questions
Pronouns and determiners
A frequent question[1] we get is "What is the difference between a pronoun and a determiner? You tag 'that' as four parts of speech: conjunction, demonstrative pronoun, demonstrative determiner and relative. I get the first and the last, but not the other two."
The simplest way to explain this is to give two example sentences,
- a) Show me that card.
- b) Give me that.
Notes
