In page 29 of Grammar book its given that ' a great of deal of' can be used for Non- Count Nouns but not for Count Nouns.
In the exercises
Joan drank a great deal of sodas.(count Noun)
Randy drank a great deal of coffee(Non - Count Noun)
Both are given true in the answers.
One more question:
Joan drank hardly any sodas.
This is false according to answer list.
Please can some one clarify above 2 sentences

Quote:
As far as my information is concerned, "a great deal of" is used for uncountable nouns. Can somebody else throw some light on this.
Quote:
use of "any":
1. is to express quantity or degree in negative or interrogative sentences - the sentence you have mentioned fulfills this
2. takes singular subject - the sentence should have been "Joan drank hardly any soda"
I hope I am able to clear your doubt.
