Two questions: 1. What do you call words such as "the", "some", "a", "every", "any" etc? 2. What about words like "at", "to", "in", "over" etc? I think it's preposition words of something.

1. Articles and Determiners 2. Adpositions When they come before the noun (like English), they are 'Prepositions', but when they are after the noun, they are 'Postpositions'. Their collective term is 'Adpositions'.

Oh Dr01d... You may not be too good at converting from one language to another, but you're good with linguistic labels.

@Dr01d: Some how I knew it would be you to answer... 1. What's the difference? 2. When you say "the noun", do you mean the subject or object?
