Plaease, have a look at this article in an Oxford dictionary:
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/last1_1?q=last
Last is a determiner. And in no way it is an adjective.
1. I've never known such part of speach. A determiner is a grammatical phenomenon, not a part of speach. Is it a part of speach?
2. I've always thought that there can be only one determiner for a noun.
But OALD gives us the following example: It's the last house on the left.
Definitive article is a determiner for sure. Then we have two determiners for the word "house". Is it possible?
3. Webster dictionary shows us that "last" is an adjective.
Well, if "last" is an adjective, I understand everything.
If "last" is a determiner, then I can't understand what a determiner is.
Could you help me with this?
