2.202 with all types of noun

Some quantifiers can be used with plural noun groups, with singular noun groups, or with uncount nouns.

Here is a list of quantifiers used with plural noun groups, singular noun groups, or uncount nouns:

Note that 'an amount of' is nearly always used with an adjective such as 'small': 'a small amount of'. This is explained in paragraph 2.209.

Note also that when 'lots of' is used with an uncount noun as the subject of a verb, the verb is singular, even though the quantifier looks plural.

'Any of' is explained more fully in paragraph 2.205.
