Answer

Hi Javi,

"Some", "all" and "most" are called determiners. It's hard to explain them in percentages because it's relative, but for "all of the people" and "all of them" you can say it is a 100%; for "most of them" and "most of the people" you could say it is from 51% to 99%. Finally, when you say "some of the people" or "some of them" it would be just an amount of the total so it could be anything , probably less than 50%.

Remember, when you say "most/all/some of the people" you are talking about (a) general population and you say "most/all/some of them" you are talking about a specific group.

I hope this helps you :)
