Keywords
By "quantity questions," we mean asking "how much?" or "how many?" You're going to need to use the question word 几 (jǐ) and measure words for this.
Structure
You can use the quantity question word 几 instead of a number to ask about quantity with measure words.
Subject + Verb + 几 + MW + Noun？
Examples
- 几 个 人？How many people?
- 你 在 这里 呆 几 天？How many days are you staying here?
- 你 每 天 工作 几 个 小时？How many hours do you work every day?
