1. QUANTIFIER 1

2. What are Quantifiers?
Quantifiers are words that precede and modify nouns. They tell us how many or how much.
E.g. : many, few, most of , little , several, some…….
Selecting the correct quantifier depends on your understanding the distinction between countable and non countable nouns.
The position of quantifiers
We put quantifiers at the beginning of noun phrases.
quantifier + noun (e.g. some people)
quantifier + adjective + noun (e.g. many old books)
quantifier + adverb + adjective + noun (e.g. a lot of very crazy drivers)
We can also use quantifiers without a noun, like a pronoun.
e.g. These books are old but some are still in good condition.
(here some refers to some books)

3. Usage of Quantifiers with Countable Nouns
many trees
a few trees
few trees
several trees
NOTE :
few, very few mean that there is not enough of something.
a few means that there is not a lot of something, but there is enough.

4. Usage of Quantifiers with Uncountable Nouns
not much dancing
a little dancing
little dancing
a bit of dancing
NOTE :
little, very little mean that there is not enough of something.
a little means that there is not a lot of something, but there is enough.

5. Usage of Quantifiers with both Countable & Uncountable Nouns
  all of the trees/dancing
  some trees/dancing
  most of the trees/dancing
  enough trees/dancing       

7. USAGE OF ENOUGH USAGE OF LITTLE
Enough is used for both countable and uncountable nouns.
Enough implies a sufficient quantity; it is used in affirmations, negations and questions.
Eg: We can get tickets for the concert, I've got enough money now
. Eg: Have you got enough money for the tickets?
Little, a little, not much are used with non count nouns (always in the singular)
Eg: There's little point in trying to mend it. You'll never succeed!
Eg:I've got a little money left; let's go and have a drink.

8. USAGE OF SOME USAGE OF FEW
Some is used in affirmative statements. It is replaced with any in negative and interrogative contexts. 
Eg: I've got some apples in my basket and some water in my bottle.
Eg: I haven't got any apples in my basket, nor any water in my bottle.
Eg: We had some visitors last weekend, but we didn't have any this weekend
Few is used with plural nouns.
