Some Notes on Quantifiers

Like articles, quantifiers are words that precede and modify nouns. They tell us how many or how much. Selecting the correct quantifier depends on your understanding the distinction between Count and Non-Count Nouns. For our purposes, we will choose the count noun trees and the non-count noun time:

The following quantifiers will work with count nouns:
      many trees
      a few trees
      few trees
      several trees
      a couple of trees
      none of the trees

The following quantifiers will work with non-count nouns:
      not much time
      a little time
      little time
      a bit of time
      a good deal of time
      a great deal of time
      no time

The following quantifiers will work with both count and non-count nouns:
      all of the trees/time
      some trees/time
      most of the trees/time
      enough trees/time
      a lot of trees/time
      lots of trees/time
      plenty of trees/time
      a lack of trees/time
