# Summary
- **Countable vs uncountable** is the biggest trap (advice, information, evidence, bread, rice =
uncountable).
- **Few/little** → negative; **a few/a little** → positive; **the few/the little** → all that exists.
- **Any** → negative/general; **some** → offers/positive statements.
- **Each/every** similar but *each = individual focus*, *every = general group*.
- Articles: ♦ Languages/nouns in general → no “the.” ♦ "A university", "the UK".
