Dr.Armstrong operated on Andrew without any charges, and within a few weeks he was
back at home doing well.
Observe the underlined words. They do not specify the exact amount or number but
quantify things. They are called quantifiers.The words no, none, any, a lot of, much,
many, a little, a few, etc. come under this category.
We use no or none of to indicate not or not any in order to emphasise the
negative idea in a sentence.
We use a few and a little to talk about a small number and quantity.
Much is used with uncountable nouns like sugar, and many is used with countable
nouns like pen, book, etc.
Examples:
Chandu has so much interest in English that he reads one book a week.
