Quantifiers are words or phrases that indicate the quantity or amount of something. They are important because they help us to be more specific and precise when making statements or asking questions.
The order of quantifiers can greatly affect the meaning of a sentence. For example, the statement "I have some apples" implies that there is more than one apple, while "I have an apple" suggests that there is only one apple.
The most common order of quantifiers in English is as follows: determiners (e.g. a, an, the), numbers (e.g. one, two, three), quantity words (e.g. some, many, a lot of), and then adjectives (e.g. red, large, delicious).
Yes, the order of quantifiers can be changed depending on the emphasis or meaning that the speaker wants to convey. However, changing the order may alter the intended meaning of the sentence.
Yes, there are some exceptions to the usual order of quantifiers. For example, we can say "I have a few apples" or "I have few apples", and both are grammatically correct. However, the first sentence suggests that there are some apples, while the second implies that there are not many apples.
