Quantifiers are used in English grammar to indicate the amount or quantity of something referred to by a noun. They can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns. Examples of quantifiers are all, some, many, few, a lot, and plenty. They enhance the information given by the nouns, making your English sound more fluent and natural.
