How Much How Many

2. HOW MUCH & HOW MANY
We use the words MUCH and MANY to talk
about quantity and amounts.
We use HOW MUCH with uncountable nouns.
We use HOW MANY with countable nouns.

3. Differences Between HOW MUCH & HOW MANY
The choice between much and many depends on the noun it is
describing.
1. HOW MUCH:
Much is used to describe mass nouns or non-count nouns like
juice, rice, patience, and happiness. When using much, the noun
will always be singular; it cannot be plural.
The following examples show HOW MUCH is used. The nouns are
underlined.
1. How much milk does the recipe call for?
2. I don't have much time left to finish the assignment.
3. There is too much stuff on the shelf.

4. Differences Between HOW MUCH & HOW MANY
2. HOW MANY:
Many is used to describe count nouns or nouns that can be
counted like books, ideas, leaves, and shoes. When using many,
the noun will always be plural.
The following examples show HOW MANY is used. The nouns are
underlined.
1. How many roses did you buy?
2. I don't know how many movies I own.
3. There are so many things to do I don’t know if we will get
them all done.

5. HOW MANY
You can use many with a non-count noun only if you are talking
about different types, kinds, or measured quantities of
something. The following examples show this.
1. How many cups of milk does the recipe call for? (Milk is a non-count noun
but the question is asking "how many cups" and cup is a count noun.)
2. She put too many teaspoons of sugar in her coffee. (Sugar is a non-count
noun but teaspoon is a count noun.)
3. How many kinds of fruit does she grow in her garden? (Fruit is a non-count
noun but kind is a count noun.)
4. The market sells many types of rice. (Rice is a non-count noun but type is a
count noun.)

6. REMEMBER:
If you can count the noun, use many (the noun
will always be plural). If you cannot count the
noun, use much (the noun cannot be plural).
