          2. THE ORDER OF DETERMINERS:
            1. PRE-DETERMINERS: Specify quantity in the noun which follows them, and they are of three major types:
              1. 1. Multiplying expressions, including expressins ending in times: twice my salary ◙ double my salary
                1. 2. Fractions: half my salary ◙ one-third my salary
                  1. 3. The word all and both: all my salary ◙ both my salaries
                  2. CENTRAL- DETERMINERS: The definite article THE and the indefinite article A / AN are the most common central determiners.

                    2. POST-DETERMINERS: Cardinal and ordinal numerals occupy the post-determiner slot: the two children ◙ his fourth birthday
