If it is quantified, it is always in a general manner.
Therefore you would never use “el,la,or uno” following it. It would always be quantified in general terms such as “much / many, a lot of, several, some,just a few, not any or nothing”. Since these are adjectives, they always agree with the noun.

Q

If you want to talk in a general way about some action needing to happen, you can instead use the construction hay + que + infinitive.

This can be kind of a sneaky way of saying that something needs to be taken care of without explicitly saying who should do it. In English, we often rework such a sentence into the passive voice to express the idea.

The trash needs to be taken out.

The window needs to be cleaned.

A

Hay que sacar la basura.

Hay que limpiar la ventana.
