What is a
quantifier?
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.
 Examples:

He's got only a few dollars.
How much money have you got?
There is a large quantity of fish in this river.
He's got more friends than his sister.

We do not normally use the quantifier some
in negative and interrogative sentences.
We normally use any:
Do you have any children?
Did you see any friends?
We don't have any children.
I didn't see any friends.
We saw some lions at the zoo, but
we didn't see any tigers.
But we can use some for offers and
requests:
Would you like some tea?
I want some apples, please.

not a lot of something, but
there is enough.
NOTE:
few, very few mean that there is not
enough of something.
a few means that there is not a lot of
something, but there is enough.
