When to use 'much' and 'many' | English grammar lesson

Learn the difference between "much" and "many" with this English grammar lesson.

We use many when asking about quantity with countable nouns with the expression "how many". Example: How many apples are there?

We use how much for asking about quantity with uncountable nouns. Example: How much milk is there?

We also use many in negative sentences with countable nouns to describe a small quantity or amount. Example: "There aren't many apples."

For describing a small quantity with uncountable nouns, then we use much in the negative, for example "there isn't much wine."

For positive sentences to express a large quantity, we do NOT use much or many. We prefer "a lot of" or "lots of". For example "There are a lot of oranges" and "there is a lot of milk.

At the end of the English lesson, there are some grammar exercises to test your understanding.

The accent is a British English accent and there are subtitles / closed captions during the whole video lesson.

Hello Andrew, your lessons are helping me a lot. I can't understand very well words during the "Comprehension", but I will work on :). So thank you.
Quantity - How many peaches are there?
- How many coconuts are there?
- How much coffee is there?
- How much milkshake is there?

Small quantity - There isn't much muesli.
- There isn't much brown sugar.
- There aren't many carrots.
- There aren't many jars of jam.

Thanks and good day.

Amy.
