Question: 1/3"Which bag is yours?" — which is correct?
💡 Hint: 「どの」 is followed by a noun.
「どの + noun」 = which ___. 「どれ」 stands alone without a noun.

💡 Hint: It attaches to the noun (人).
A noun needs 「どの」, so どの人.
"Which train?" (with a noun) — which is correct?
💡 Hint: Train is a noun, so どの.
With a noun use 「どの」; alone use 「どれ」.
