2. Quantitative Adjectives
An adjective of quantity is an adjective that
indicates the quantity. It answers the question of
how much. Adjectives of quantity are generally
used with uncountable nouns.
These adjectives express the approximate
amount of the nouns rather than the exact
number. Many, much, some, several, few, and
enough are some examples of adjectives of
quantity.
The difference between indefinite numeral
adjectives and adjectives of quantity is that
indefinite numeral adjectives are used with
countable nouns, whereas adjectives of quantity
are used with uncountable nouns. The following
sentences will illustrate how they are used in
sentences.
