A quantifier is a word or phrase which is used before a noun to indicate the amount or quantity: 'Some', 'many', 'a lot of' and 'a few' are examples of quantifiers.
Quantifiers can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns.

Functions of numerals Функции числительных
A numeral is a figure, a letter, a word (or their combinations) representing a number. Cardinal numerals indicate number, quantity or amount and are used in counting. Ordinal numerals indicate order, that is, the order of things in a series. Numerals can be written in figures or words (2 or two; 25 or twenty-five; 17th or seventeenth).
Числительное – это цифра, буква, слово (или их комбинации), обозначающие число. Количественные числительные указывают число или количество и используются при счёте. Порядковые числительные указывают порядок, то есть порядок вещей в ряду. Числительные можно написать цифрами или словами (2 или два; 25 или двадцать пять; 17-й или семнадцатый).
Numerals function as nouns and adjectives. In a sentence, a numeral can serve as a subject, attribute, object, predicative complement, or adverbial modifier.
Числительные функционируют как существительные и прилагательные. В предложении числительное может быть подлежащим, определением, дополнением, именной частью сказуемого или обстоятельством.
