Determiners work alongside nouns to clarify information about
the quantity, location, or ownership of the noun. It 'determines'
exactly what is being referred to. Much like pronouns, there are
also several different types of determiners.
The, a, an - articles
This, that, those - you might recognise these - demonstrative
pronouns are also determiners
One, two, three etc. - cardinal numbers
First, second, third etc. - ordinal numbers
Some, most, all - quantifiers
Other, another - difference words

Conjunctions are words that connect other words, phrases, and
clauses together within a sentence. There are three main types of
conjunctions;
Coordinating conjunctions - these link independent clauses
together.
Subordinating conjunctions - these link dependent clauses to
independent clauses.
Correlative conjunctions - words that work in pairs to join two
parts of a sentence of equal importance.
For, and, nor, but, or, yet, so - coordinating conjunctions
After, as, because, when, while, before, if, even though -
subordinating conjunctions
Either/or, neither/nor, both/and - correlative conjunctions
If it rains, I'm not going out.
Interjections are exclamatory words used to express an emotion or a
reaction. They often stand alone from the rest of the sentence and are
accompanied by an exclamation mark.
