Adjectives for Countable and Uncountable nouns

Adjectives for Countable and Uncountable nouns  

* Some adjectives that describe the quantity of the nouns answer the question ‘How much?’ They cannot be replaced by a number if the nouns are uncountable.
Example:     
1. I want a little rice.
   I want two rice is incorrect.


* However, adjectives of quantity like some, many, much, any, no can be used both as adjectives of quantity as well as number if the nouns are countable.
Example:
1. There are many flowers in the vase.
    There are ten flowers in the vase.
