Quantifiers - A basket of clothes She is lying next to a basket of clothes Quantifiers (lượng từ) are used to express quantity i.e. the amount of something; how many/much. With countable nouns like apples, for example, we can ask and answer: How many apples do you want? I want four apples. Notice we use many with countable nouns. Quantifiers with non-countable nouns Now let's take a look at a non-countable noun: wine. Because wine is uncountable we use a quantifier to make it countable. In this case we use the container it usually comes inside: How many bottles of wine do you want? I want four bottles of wines. We use quantifiers to make non-countable nouns countable.
