Quantitative adjectives.
Within the adjectives Quantitative there are two groups, some are countable adjectives and the others are uncountable adjectives, in this sense both are to give a quantity, but the difference lies in the fact that the first mentioned are for quantities that we can easily count by units or more while the others are for those things, people or animals that we cannot count.
These adjectives are
always placed before the noun, that is, the thing you are indicating the
quantity of, like this:
For example, in the
phrase "three books," "three" is the quantitative
adjective.
However, they can appear after certain verbs, especially with "to be."
For example, "There are many students."
The most common
position is before the noun, but the context and structure of the sentence can
influence its placement
