Explanation:

In the conversation, Mrs Wilson and Alice are discussing the ingredients needed to make Yorkshire puddings. They use different quantifiers to talk about the quantities of the ingredients.

- Mrs Wilson says they need "just some" oil, flour, eggs, and milk. This means they need an unspecified but relatively small amount of each ingredient. - When Alice asks how much flour they need, Mrs Wilson says "a cup of flour". Here, the quantifier "a" is used to specify a precise amount. - Alice then asks how many eggs she should get out, indicating that there are a limited number of eggs in the fridge. She says there is "a little" milk and "a few" eggs, which suggests a small quantity. - Mrs Wilson clarifies that they need 3 eggs and a cup of milk for the pudding, specifying a specific quantity. - Alice asks if they need sugar, but Mrs Wilson says there is no sugar in Yorkshire pudding. - Finally, when Alice asks how much salt she should get, Mrs Wilson says "just a little", indicating a small amount.

The use of different quantifiers helps to specify the quantities of the ingredients needed for the recipe.
