Each time we use a noun we have to decide if a quantifier is necessary and if it is which one. Some/ many /any /much.

What are quantifiers? 

Quantifiers belong to the class of determiner. The quantifiers tell us something about the quantity.

We use quantifiers at the beginning of the noun phrase.

Before a noun: some thoughts

Before adjective + noun: many enterprising people  

Before adverb + adjective + noun: any very good ideas.

We choose quantifiers according to the main noun in the noun phrase (countable and uncountable)

Uncountable nouns: some sugar

Countable noun: singular another solution / plural: a few drinks.

We use some of the quantifiers only when we refer to two things.

1. We use some with a noun when we don't know the amount.

2. We can use some with countable nouns and uncountable nouns

For example:  There are some apples in the fridge
  There is some juice in the fridge.

We use some in:

1. Positive sentences: I bought some bread

2. Making offers or requests: Would you like some coffee?

3. Asking questions when you think the answer is "yes": Did you learn some new words in class?

When we use "either" we know that we have two options.


When we use "both" we indicate two possibilities together (people – things).

 
After "both"  comes plural nouns.

After "either" and "neither" comes singular nouns and verbs.


We use either with positives sentences.

We use neither with negative. 
(neither is in itself negative "neither- no either".

 
"Either" used in questions, "neither" used in formal and written English

 
We use “enough” to make sure that quantity is sufficient for some purpose.

For example :
You haven’t had enough lessons.

 
And we use “another” to make sure that this thing is additional to other thing (exciting number of quantity).  
For example: 

We’re having another baby. (This baby is not our first).

We use “another” with singular nouns and numbers followed by plural nouns.

All, each and every We use all, each and every to emphasise the 'completeness' of a group or class of things. 
We use many and much in the informal forms
More, fewer and less. These are comparative forms.
We tend to use every for large numbers.
We can use each (but not every) to refer to only two things
