We use quantifiers when we want to give someone information about the number of something: how much or how many.
How much is used to ask the amount of uncountable nouns or things.
How many is used to ask the number of countable things or nouns.
Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted, for example: pencil, class, student, etc.
The director buys a computer.
The secretary is typing some files.
The big company has three branches in Indonesia.
As you can see in the example, singular countable noun uses a/an/the and plural countable noun ends in–s/-es. Plural countable noun uses cardinal number or determiner.
Uncountable nouns refer to mass nouns that cannot be counted, such as ini, water, sugar, etc.
Sometimes we use a quantifiers in the place of a determiner.
We use these quantifiers with both count and uncount nouns:
All any enough less a lot of lots of
More most no none of some
And some more colloquial forms:
Plently of heaps of a load of tons of etc
Some quantifiers can be used only with count nouns:
Both each either (a)few fewer netiher several
Some quantifiers can be used only with uncount nouns:
A little (not)much a bit of
And,particuraly with abstract nouns such as time,money,trouble,etc;we often use:
A great deal of a good deal of
Members of groups
You can put a noun after a quantifier when you are talking about members of a group in general……
…… but if you are talking about a specific group of people or things,use of the …..as well
if we are talking about two people or things we use the quantifiers both,either,and neither.
Singular quantifiers:
We use every or each with a singular noun to mean all:
There was a party in every street = There were parties in all the streets
Every shop was decorated with flowers = All the shops were decorated with flowers
Each child was given a prize = All the children were given a prize.
There was a prize in each competition = There were prizes in all the competitions.
