Quantifiers are words used to indicate quantity or amount. They are often used before nouns to provide more information about how many or how much of something we are referring to.

EXAMPLES:

A few - used with countable nouns (things we can count).

Example: I have a little water left. (Meaning: a small amount)

Much - used with uncountable nouns in negative sentences and questions.

Example: How much sugar do we need? (Meaning: a large amount)

Example: There isn’t much coffee left. (Negative)

Many - used with countable nouns.

Example: There are many books on the shelf. (Meaning: a large number)

EXAMPLES:

• Countable nouns: - apples, books, chairs, people.
• Uncountable nouns: water, milk, sugar, coffee.
