Domande Inglese (Stati Uniti)

Hello.

According to available information, there are eight word classes (=part of speech) in English:

noun, adjective, adverb, verb, preposition, pronoun, interjection, conjunction

What is a word class of the following words: four, eight, ten?

In my native language a numeral is a word class. In English it is not. So I am thinking, into which of the eight ones mentioned do these three words belong.

Thank you.

They are considered “quantifiers,” when put before nouns. For example,“Four dogs.” Or referred as “Numeral adjectives,” they don’t have a specific place though. By themselves, “Four,” would just be considered a number. As well as Eight and Ten.
