Use your knowledge of **character classes** and **quantifiers** to extract all email addresses from a block of text. Email addresses follow specific patterns, making them ideal candidates for **regular expression** matching. Your goal is to write a function that scans a given string and returns every email address it finds.

- Identify the pattern of a typical email address (for example, `username@example.com`);
- Use Python's `re` module to construct a regular expression that matches email addresses;
- Write a function that returns a list of all email addresses found in the input string.

**Quantifiers** in regular expressions let you specify how many times a character, character class, or group must occur for a match. This is essential for patterns like email addresses, where parts of the address can repeat or vary in length. For example, in the pattern `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+`, the `+` quantifier means "match one or more of the preceding characters." Common quantifiers include `*` (zero or more), `+` (one or more), and `{n,m}` (between *n* and *m* times). Using quantifiers helps you build flexible patterns that match a wide range of text formats.
