Determiner
I have not heard of a determiner before. The description given on the linked page is:
"A determiner is a word that modifies a noun but does not describe its attributes, as an adjective does." I don't understand and there are no examples given. Can someone please give me some examples of this? Thank you in advance.

Determiners can be different kinds of words (articles, demonstratives, possessives...). They "establish" what the noun is in the sentence.
Articles -> La casa, los niños... Demonstratives -> Este libro, estas manzanas... Possessives -> Mi hermano, nuestros amigos... Numbers -> Un león, trescientas personas... Others -> ¡Cuánta agua!, ¿qué comida?, algunos invitados, muchos colores...
