What are the 4 kinds of limiting adjectives?

There isn't a strict categorization of limiting adjectives into exactly four types. However, you can think of limiting adjectives as falling into broader categories based on their function. Here are some common ways to categorize them:

1. Articles:

* Definite article: "the" (specifies a particular noun)

* Indefinite articles: "a" and "an" (refer to any one of a class of nouns)

2. Demonstratives:

* This/these: refer to something near the speaker

* That/those: refer to something further away

3. Possessives:

* My/mine, your/yours, his/his, her/hers, its/its, our/ours, their/theirs: show ownership

4. Quantifiers:

* Some, any, many, few, much, little, all, every, each, no, several, enough, both, either, neither: express quantity or amount

5. Numbers:

* One, two, three, etc.: indicate specific numerical quantities

6. Other limiting adjectives:

* Other, another, same, different: compare or contrast nouns

Important Note:

* This is not an exhaustive list.

* Some words can act as different types of limiting adjectives depending on context.

* The term "limiting adjective" is not always used consistently across grammatical frameworks.

Remember that the primary function of limiting adjectives is to modify nouns by specifying or restricting their meaning.
