How to us much and muny
We use use much and many in questions and negative sentences. They both show an amount of something.
Use 'Much' with uncountable nouns
We use much with singular nouns.
Question: "How much petrol is in the car?"
Negative clause: "We don't have much time left."
Negative clause: "We don't have much time left."
Use 'Many' with countable nouns
We use many with plural nouns
Question: "How many people were at the meeting?"
Negative clause: "Not many of the students understood the lesson."
Negative clause: "Not many of the students understood the lesson."
Use a 'A lot of' and 'Lots of' with both
Both mean a large amount. We use them with countable and uncountable nouns. A lot of is a little more formal sounding than lots of.
Countable:
"A lot of people work here."
"Lots of people work here."
"Lots of people work here."
Uncountable:
"There was a lot of snow last night."
"There was lots of snow last night."
"There was lots of snow last night."
