some, much, a lot of, a bit of. For example,
y I do not have much money.

Sometimes we use an exact measurement like a pinch of, a cup of, a bag of, a spoon of,
a kilogram of, a piece of. For example,
y Add a pinch of salt in the curry.
y I need a piece of advice.
Such expressions are called partitive nouns.
