Thank you ver much for your respone.

Would you tell me which part of speech the underlined part is in the following sentence?

Ex. Most of what he told me wasn't true.

What is the difference between the underlined part and the students in the previous post? why of precedes the underlined part but students does not follow of after most.

it's a noun phrase...I find it's useful to use a substitute word sometimes to see these things more clearly ...i.e. "most of the things"
