English Quantifiers Practice Test – MCQ with Answers

Quantifiers are very important words because they let us express the quantity of something. There are several quantifiers in English and they can be a little tricky to use.

A quantifier is a word that usually goes before a noun to express the quantity of the object; for example, a little milk. Most quantifiers are followed by a noun, though it is also possible to use them without the noun when it is clear what we are referring to.
