Already can't help my son with his homework

I don't know if anyone here can help me. I stumbled across this site while trying to find help for my problem. Is there a book that can tell me all the suitable words that can be used before any given word. By this I mean le la les ces cette ces mon ton son notre votre leurmes tes ses nos vos etc. My son comes home with homework he doesn't know how to do without help and I am completely English. Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Sarah,
Well, since I'm not the person who tells advices in French grammar. We'll wait for the perfect answer. But I'll try to give you more time to discover this alone until some of professional kindly answer you.

"I mean le la les ces cette ces mon ton son notre votre leurmes tes ses nos vos etc", these things are called Determiners

Hi girls,

Here's a great resource about determiners: http://french.about.com/library/weekly/bl-determiners.htm

Wikipedia also has an entry about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_articles_and_determiners
