MAKE VERBS AGREE AFTER
EXPRESSIONS OF QUANTITY
A particular agreement problem occurs when the subject is an expression of quantity,
such as “all, most, or some”, followed by the preposition “of”. In this situation, the
subject (all, most, or some) can be singular or plural, depending on what follows the
preposition “of”.

COUNTABLE VS UNCOUNTABLE.
Expressions of quantity tell us how many or how much of something there is.

A word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality; can be
either countable or uncountable.  Countable nouns have singular and plural forms while
uncountable nouns can be used only in the singular form.
