Sometimes we use a quantifier in the sentence, such as enough, many, some. There are two situations. The first one is if the noun represents an unspecified amount of something. For example, "There are many fish in the lake." "Fish" is a noun which can't respect an specified amount of something. The other situation is if the amount is more than one but not all items in a
category. For example,"I find some balls in this bag." "Balls" in here is the amount is more than one but not all items in the bag. We also should notice that sometimes no article conveys an unspecified amount, such as "Teacher show us movies of China."
Sometimes we don't use article in a sentence. There are two situations too. The first one is if that the noun represents all items in a category. For example, "Children can't watch too much TV." "Children" is a noun which represents all items in a category, so we needn't use article. The
other one is if the noun represents a category in general. For example, "People always forget some important details in their work." “People” here is a noun represents a a category in general.
