A determiner is a word, such as a number, article, personal pronoun, that determines (limits) the meaning of a noun phrase. some determiners can only be used with either a countable noun or an uncountable noun, while others, like most, can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns Uncountable nouns usually take a singular verb During most of history, humans were too busy to think about thought Why is most of history correct in the above sentence I could understand the difference between most of the people and most I've recently come across a novel called a most wanted man, after which being curious i found a tv episode called a most unusual camera
Could someone shed some light on how to use a most and wh. Here most means a plurality Most dentists recommend colgate toothpaste Here it is ambiguous about whether there is a bare majority or a comfortable majority From the 2nd language log link I searched on google for the pattern most * percent, and picked out of the first 150 hits all the examples like these:

Which one of the following sentences is the most canonical The most has been explained a lot, but my doubts pertain specifically to which one to use at the end of a sentence In your example, books are what you have read most, so i would agree that in diagrammatic reasoning most of what you've read are books
Of all of the various materials i've read, most are books Therefore, because most refers to books, and books is a plural noun, i'm sorry to say that your friend is correct. Since most of _____ is a prepositional phrase, the correct usage would be most of whom. the phrase most of who should probably never be used Another way to think about the difference between the subjective/objective pronouns is to revise the sentence to include a personal pronoun and see which form (he/him or she/her or they/them) fit. I was always under impression that most important is correct usage when going through the list of things We need to pack socks, toothbrushes for the trip, but most important is to pack underwe.

It was popularized, however, in the saying (intentionally ungrammatical, to convey a sense of crude common sense) Getting thar fustest with the mostest.
