In Determiners^x, Uncountable nouns^x

Determiners include demonstratives and quantifiers, as far as I know. Can you give me some examples of uncountable nouns with quantifiers? Also, if I say the first sentence of my inquiry line to " The determiners include demonstratives and quantifiers ," does it mean the determiners mentioned...
