H. Quantifier is a determiner or pronoun indicative of quantity.
a. We use Quantifiers when we want to give someone information about the number of something: how much or how many. (e.g. How much does it cost?)
b. use these Quantifies with both countable and uncountable nouns: all, any, enough, less, a lot of, lots of, more, most, no, none of, some, plenty of, heaps of, a load of, loads of, tons of etc.
c. Some Quantifiers can be used only with countable nouns: both, each, either, (a) few, fewer, neither, several, a couple of, hundreds of, thousands of etc.
d. Some Quantifiers can be used only with uncountable nouns: a little, (not) much, a bit of, etc.
e. particularly with abstract nouns such as time, money, trouble, etc., we often use 'a great deal of', 'a good deal of' (e.g. I think the difference is subtle, but a great deal of money is for me more than a lot of money.)
H1. We can use a Quantifiers before noun when we are talking about members of a group in general. (e.g. Few snakes are dangerous.) But a specific group of people or things, use of 'the ~'. (e.g. Few of the snakes are dangerous.)
H2. If we are talking about two people or things we use the Quantifiers 'both', 'either' and 'neither' (e.g. one supermarket (The supermarket was closed.), two supermarkets (Neither of the supermarkets was open), more than two supermarkets (I don't think any of the supermarkets were open.))
a. Nouns with 'either' and 'neither' have a singular verb. (e.g. I don’t think either of the supermarkets was open.)
H3. Singular Quantifier 'every' or 'each' with a singular noun to mean all (e.g. There was a party in every street. = There were parties in all the streets.)
a. We often use 'every' to talk about times like days, weeks and years. (e.g. When we were children we had holidays at our grandmother’s every year.)
b. But we do not use a determiner with every and each. (e.g. We do not say: (The) Every shop was decorated with flowers.)
