I don't understand this. Are cardinal numbers adjectives or determiners? This text book has put cardinal numbers in the group of determiners.

Some grammarians class cardinal numbers as adjectives, others as determiners, and yet others as a class of their own. It is a very large (if not infinite) class, but the numerals from 14 on up are formed quite automatically. They are also pronouns.
