What is a "quantifier"?
A quantifier is a word or phrase used to express quantity or amount related to a noun, helping to indicate how much or how many of something exists. Quantifiers can be specific, such as "one," "two," or "three," or they can be general, like "some," "many," "few," "all," and "most." For example, in the sentence "Many students passed the exam," the quantifier "many" indicates an unspecified large number of students. Similarly, in "All the apples are ripe," the quantifier "all" refers to the entirety of the apples. Quantifiers play an important role in communication by providing clear information about quantity and helping to convey precise meanings in language.
