According to the rule, quantifiers are words and expressions used to talk about the amount of something. In the given sentences, we need to complete the table using specific quantifiers.
1. "Like proud parents" - In this sentence, we are indicating that there is a substantial number of proud parents. We can use the quantifier "loads of" to complete the sentence. So, the answer for this sentence would be "loads of."
2. "He could hear some of his school friends laughing at something" - In this sentence, we are indicating that only a few of his school friends were laughing. We can use the quantifier "a few" to complete the sentence. So, the answer for this sentence would be "a few."
3. "He got several costumes from the family fancy-dress collection" - In this sentence, we are indicating that he received multiple costumes. We can use the quantifier "several" to complete the sentence. So, the answer for this sentence would be "several."
4. "There were loads of friends and neighbors happy to help" - In this sentence, we are indicating that there were many friends and neighbors willing to help. We can use the quantifier "loads of" to complete the sentence. So, the answer for this sentence would be "loads of."
5. "None of his friends didn't find it funny but all of them looked forward to it" - In this sentence, we are indicating that all of his friends looked forward to it and none of them didn't find it funny. We can use the quantifier "none" to complete the first part of the sentence and the quantifier "all" to complete the second part of the sentence. So, the answer for this sentence would be "none" and "all."
6. "He's looking forward to getting a little more sleep each morning" - In this sentence, we are indicating that he wants to get a small amount of additional sleep. We can use the quantifier "a little" to complete the sentence. So, the answer for this sentence would be "a little."
By completing the sentences and using the appropriate quantifiers, we can provide a more precise description of the amount or number of certain things in each situation.
