61. What are quantifiers?
• Quantifiers are words that precede (come before) and
modify (describe) nouns. They indicate the amount or
quantity such as how many or how much.
• Selecting the correct quantifier depends on your
understanding the distinction between Countable (Count)
and Uncountable (Non-Count) Nouns.
62. Examples:
There are some books on the desk. (Count Noun)
He's got only a few dollars. (Count Noun)
How much money have you got? (Non-Count Noun)
There is a large quantity of fish in this river. (Non-Count Noun)
He's got more friends than his sister. (Count Noun)

a few/few/(very) few* either/neither
several a couple of
a number of hundreds of

64. • With Only Uncountable Nouns

Examples: few flowers = not many flowers
a few flowers = some flowers
• There is a difference between “little” and “a little”.
