Kwantificeerders, ofwel hoeveelheidswoorden, zijn essentieel in elke taal om hoeveelheden uit te drukken. In de Engelse grammatica gebruiken we kwantificeerders zoals ‘some’, ‘any’, ‘many’, ‘few’ en ‘a lot of’ om te specificeren hoeveel van iets er wordt bedoeld. Het correct gebruiken van deze woorden kan voor taalleerders soms een uitdaging zijn omdat de regels kunnen verschillen van hun moedertaal.
