Почему так:

some употребляется в утвердительном предложении с исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе.
many of my friends — «многие из моих друзей».
All the shops — правильно: all + the + существительное.
must have been выражает уверенное предположение о прошлом: «должно быть, он был дорогим».
a little more — «немного больше/дороже».
a few shops — «несколько магазинов», так как shops — исчисляемое существительное.
shouldn’t have got означает, что человек сделал что-то, чего делать не следовало.
could have given — «мог бы дать», то есть такая возможность была.
could have been really busy — «возможно, он был очень занят».
might not have remembered — «возможно, он не вспомнил».
