In questions we use a/an, any or how many with countable nouns.

Is there an email address to write to?

Are there any chairs?

How many chairs are there?

And we use any or how much with uncountable nouns.

Is there any sugar?

How much orange juice is there?

But when we are offering something or asking for something, we normally use some.

Do you want some chocolate?

Can we have some more chairs, please?

We also use some in a question when we think the answer will be 'yes'.

Have you got some new glasses?

A lot of (or lots of) can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns.

There are lots of apples on the trees.

There is a lot of snow on the road.

Notice that we don't usually use many or much in positive sentences. We use a lot of instead.

They have a lot of money.

However, in negative sentences we use not many with countable nouns and not much with uncountable nouns.

There are a lot of carrots but there aren't many potatoes.

There's lots of juice but there isn't much water.

A few and a bit of or a little mean some. Often we feel this amount is enough or more than we expected. We use a few with plural nouns and a bit of or a little with uncountable nouns.

I have a few ideas.

I've brought a few friends.

There's a bit of milk left.

It needs a little more work.

 We use few and very little to show that we are talking about a small amount. Often we feel this amount is not enough or less than we expected. Few is for countable nouns and very little is for uncountable nouns.

Few people came to the meeting.

There are few places where you can still see these birds.

We have very little time.

I have very little money.

Note that you can use little without very, but it is less common and sounds quite formal.

Example:

She had little water.

To count or quantify an uncountable noun we use a unit of measurement - a measure word. 

For example, we cannot usually say “two breads” because “bread” is uncountable. 

So, if we want to specify a quantity of bread we use a measure word such as “loaf” or “slice” in a structure like “two loaves of bread” or “two slices of bread”. We call this structure a partitive structure.
