: Re: Sentence openings variations to avoid repeating determiners and pronounces I have a question regarding sentence openings in English language. When I write most of my sentences start with determiners

Almost all the variations you have are fine. A few notes:

A little potato-like nose was planted on his face.

The grammar here is correct. However, the combination of "potato" and "planted" would only work in a humorous book, where you're constantly joking throughout the narration.

Nose of his was as big as potato. (Doesn't sound right for my ear)

Correct; you can't say it this way in English.

The nose was just like potato.

You do have to use the article a, as you did in the next example. That carries down to the next two.

All round him were countless flies that attempted to land on his potato like nose.

"All around" and "potato-like"

Generally speaking, you have the right idea for variations.
