Countable and uncountables

Hello and hope you are doing well.

One of the challenges while writing an essay in English is the correct usage of the articles and knowing whether a noun is countable or not. Are there any determiners which can be used for all sort of nouns( countable, both singular and plural and uncountable at the same time?)

As I have read on cambridge online grammar website "any" can have this quality on its " Strong form any meaning ‘it does not matter which’" .

Are there any other determiners like this? Could you provide examples please?
