Question about quantity words

[learning54]

Hi teachers,
Which term is better, 'quantity words' or 'quantity expressions' as a title for
'a lot of, lots of, many, some, a few, etc.'?

Thanks in advance

They are called quantifiers.

Hi Rover,
Thank you for your reply. So they can't be called 'quantity expressions' or 'quantity words' at all then.

I suppose they could, but why do you want to use two words when the single, correct grammatical term is available?
