ABSTRACT
In a number of European languages, gender is a grammatical category, which is characteristic of many word-classes, including nouns. The grammatical gender is a feature of any noun in those languages. Countable nouns refer to concrete entities that are perceptible and tangible. However, in order to count a concrete entity which is denoted by a countable noun, some grammatical rules should be followed. Like numbers, all the Vietnamese quantifiers function as components of a noun phrase, in which they precede the noun: may quyen sach, vai quyen sach, it sach, nhieu sach. An adjective which modifies the noun in a noun phrase can be in turn modified by an adverb of degree. The adjective and adverb form an adjective phrase. Some adverbs of dergree are placed before the adjective, while others are placed after the adjective.
