What are definite and mass determiners?

Definite determiners are used to specify a particular noun and indicate that the speaker and listener both know which noun is being referred to. Examples of definite determiners include "the" and "this."

Mass determiners, also known as non-count determiners, are used with uncountable nouns to indicate that the noun refers to a substance or concept that cannot be easily divided into separate units. Examples of mass determiners include "some," "any," and "much."
