Default Re: 228-use OF or not?

Hi,

Based on what I know, the phrases (most of the people are) and (some of the people are) mean that you are referring to certain people. You know exactly whom you are talking about. On the other hand, the (most people are) and (some people are) are uncertain phrases. You are talking about the general.

Hope this helps.
