Types of Quantifiers
There are three main classifications of quantifiers.
1. Quantifiers that Indicate Large Quantities
Here, words like “many”, “a lot”, “much”, “several”, “a number of” are used to refer to large quantities.
Examples:
There are many books in the library.
JK Rowling has written several books on the fantasy world of Harry Potter.
2. Quantifiers that Indicate Small Quantities
The words used for these cases are “few”, “a little”, a bit”, “not much” etc.
Examples:

3. Neutral or Relative Quantifiers
These quantifiers do not refer to a small or large quantity. Words like “some”, “any”, “enough”, “most of” represent relative quantifiers
Examples:
