What are definite and central determiners?

Definite determiners refer to specific nouns or noun phrases and indicate that the speaker is referring to something known or previously mentioned. Examples of definite determiners include "the" and "this."

Central determiners, on the other hand, are used to refer to non-specific nouns or noun phrases. They indicate that the speaker is referring to something in a general or non-specific way. Examples of central determiners include "a," "an," and "some."
