Use quantifiers to indicate the amount or quantity of mass nouns since they cannot be counted individually.

Examples:

• Two cups of flour
• One cup of sugar
• One tablespoon of coffee
• One cup of milk

The words cup and tablespoons are called quantifiers.

Quantifiers answer the question "How much/many?" or "How little/few?"

Use words such as much, a lot of, a little, or a few to form the plural of mass nouns.

Examples:

• a glass of water
• a kilo of rice
• two bars of soap
• much coffee
• a lot of sugar
• a little milk
