Hello, 372. Please be aware that reading terms like 'indefinite adjectives' in some book / article on grammar does not guarantee (a) that the term is in general use, (b) that the use of the term is even helpful, or (c) that all Anglophones will understand how the term is intended to be used by the authors. Also, on occasion, different authors use the same term with conflicting meanings. It is necessary to give a suitable quote, linked and attributed, for each term. // I'd say that 'adjectives of quantity' is probably a term rejected by modern grammarians, who consider 'many', 'all' etc ...– Edwin AshworthMay 22, 2020 at 13:02
