The idea
Both, few, many, others and several take a plural verb. All, any, more, most, none and some take singular or plural depending on the noun they refer to.
In practice
"Some of the cake is gone." "Some of the cookies are gone."
Where people slip
For the variable words, look past of to the noun: cake is one mass, cookies are many.
