Determiners are words like 'a', 'the', 'that' etc., which are used before nouns to show whether you are talking about something specific or of a certain type.
You are missing a determiner, 'a', before the word 'case'.
'This is a case of particular. . .'
There are a number of rules governing the use of determiners. If you need an explanation of any one, like 'a/an', I would be happy to explain, but to explain them all here would be a feat.
Modifiers are words or phrases that add information to a noun, verb or other element of a sentence. Examples of modifiers include adjectives and adverbs as well as phrases/clauses acting as adjectives or adverbs.
