MUCH or MANY or A LOT OF??? Countable and Uncountable Nouns!


so guys today I wanted to talk to you
about much and many let’s go hi guys
today we’re going to talk about
something that many of my students get
wrong a lot of the time and this is the
difference between much many a lot of
and lots of well firstly these two mean
the same thing you can use them
interchangeably
these ones however cannot be used for
the same nouns and I’m going to explain
how you use them right now so with
uncountable nouns
well these refer to something that can’t
be counted and they don’t normally have
a plural form some exceptions though are
drinks if I’m in a restaurant and I ask
for two coffees well I’m really asking
for two cups of coffee that’s why I can
say two coffees with the plural if I ask
for two sugars in my tea well we really
know that I’m asking for two sachets or
two cubes of sugar in my tea so on that
own we can’t use them as plurals
so the uncountable nouns go with much
and much is something we tend to use in
the interrogate ‘iv or the negative form
I don’t have much water do you have much
homework and accountable is go with many
we can use this affirmative negative and
interrogative I have many apples I don’t
have many windows there aren’t many
girls which is never normally a problem
so for the affirmative much especially
it can sound incredibly formal I have
much water if it sounds a bit sounds a
bit too much so instead of saying much
in the affirmative I would use a lot of
water I have a lot of water I have lots
of water many on the other hand is more
widely used with the affirmative so I
have many apple
I have a lot of apples they’re more or
less the same in this case how quick was
