    Quantifiers are determiners used before nouns to indicate quantity and can also stand alone as pronouns. The correct quantifier depends on whether the noun is singular or plural and countable or uncountable. Some quantifiers like some and any can modify both countable and uncountable nouns, while a little and a few only modify countable nouns. Enough can modify both countable and uncountable nouns. Quantifiers referring to counts like a few can be used with uncountable nouns when referring to specific units.

    Quantifiers

    Quantifiers are determiners (e.g. the, this, a, an) used before a noun to show quantity
    (e.g. much, few, a lot of). These words can also stand alone as pronouns. The choice of
    the correct quantifier is often determined by whether the noun is singular or plural and
    whether it is countable or uncountable.

    1. some and any modify both countable and uncountable nouns:

    • There is some water on the floor.

    • Do you have any food?

    2. [A] little modifies only countable nouns; [a] few modifies only countable nouns

    • He had [a] little food in the house.

    • There are [a] few doctors in town.

    3. Enough modifies both countable and uncountable nouns.

    • There is enough money to buy a car.

    • I have enough books to read.

    4. A few, many and other countable quantifiers can be used with uncountable nouns
    with referring to specific units.
