There are often articles right before a noun; the indefinite articles 'a' and 'an', and the definite article 'the'. For example:

The words that come before a noun are:

ARTICLES

Definite articles: the; used to identify a specific noun.

Indefinite articles: a (used before a noun starting with a consonant sound), an (used before a noun starting with a vowel sound); used to identify a singular general noun.

ADJECTIVES

An adjective describes or qualifies a noun (a big dog, a small dog); adjectives are used before the noun or after the verb (This is an easy subject. or This is hard.); two or more adjectives can be used together (a beautiful, young lady). There are hundreds of adjectives, some samples are: happy, sad, green, white, special, somber, chewy, dark, heavy, sweet, lucky, wonderful, etc.

ATTRIBUTIVE NOUNS

Nouns used to describe other nouns (nouns used as adjectives), for example horse farm, house plant, vegetable broth, school books, shoe lace, ranch dressing on a house salad, etc.

MODIFYING PRONOUNS

Personal pronouns: my, your, his, her, their, its.

Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those.

Distributive pronouns: each, either, none, neither, etc.

Numeral pronouns: some, any, few, many, none, all, etc.
