Questions on/of adjective and quantifier?
Hi.
Would you say an adjective is a phrase/clause that tells something about a noun as to what it is, which one it is, and how many there are. Does it tell any other things about a noun (if I phrased my question correctly)?
Can we say "two eyeglasses"? Can we put a number in front of all plural nouns? As to "two eyeglasses," what is the difference between that and the phrase "two pairs of eyeglasses"?
Can we use the words like "tons" in front of both countable and uncountable nouns?
eg,
tons of happiness/pens

- That seems like a pretty broad term.
