Question
Choose the correct option.
Answer
- Every (all can only be used before uncountable nouns or with plurals)
- All; any (dental care is uncountable)
- Many; other (much only used before uncountable nouns; other because determiners don’t have plural forms before plural nouns. Though it would be correct to say and many others (= many other nurses) leave the profession)
- Most (don’t need of when most is just followed by a noun; could say most of the people I know, etc.)
- Both (don’t need of unless both is followed by another determiner or a pronoun)
- many (many + plural noun, much + uncountable noun)
- less and less (less with uncountable – money, fewer with plurals)
- A few (can’t be several of – see 4 and 5 about use of of, though you could say several incidents)
- cases; no (most + plural, not singular, no + singular noun to express negative meaning
- other (because treatments is plural)
