Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

In Japanese, when expressing quantity, adverbs such as takusan ("many"), sukoshi ("a few," "a little"), or ōzei ("many" in reference to people) are placed after the subject marker, as shown in (a).
Alternatively, quantity can be described by specifying a number and adding a counter, as in (b). There are various kinds of counters used in Japanese, depending on the type of object being counted. For example, the counter -hon is used for long cylindrical objects such as pencils or bottles; -satsu for books; -hiki for small animals; and -mai for thin, flat objects such as papers or blankets. Numbers with counters, like adverbs, come after the subject-marker.

「A」りんごがたくさんある/あります。
Ringo ga takusan aru/arimasu.
There are lots of apples.

「B」俳優が5人いる/います。
Haiyū ga go-nin iru/ imasu.
There are five actors.

Examples:
ビールの瓶が2本あります。
Bīru no bin ga ni-hon arimasu.
There are two beer bottles.

見物人が大勢いました。
Kenbutsunin ga ōzei imashita.
There were many sightseers.

Hope that was helpful!
