In the interrogative forms we use :
- Much with uncountable nouns. (money, bread, water...)
- Many with countable nouns. (students, desks, windows...)
- Ex :
- How many students / teachers / desks... are there?
In the negative forms we use :
- Much with uncountable nouns. (money, bread, water...)
- Ex :
- I haven't got much money/bread/water...
- Many with countable nouns. (students, desks, windows...)
- Ex :
- There aren't many students / teachers / desks...
In the affirmative forms we use :
- A lot, A lot of, lots of with countable and uncountable nouns.
- Ex :
- "How many students are there in the classroom?"
- "There are a lot."
- "How many students are there in the classroom?"
- "There are a lot of / lots of students"..
In formal written English :
- It is also possible (and preferable) to use many and much rather than a lot of, lots of and a lot in formal written English.
- Ex :
- There are many students.
- Much time was spent on studying.
Some more points to Remember :
- In affirmative sentences with so, as or too, we also use much / many.
- Ex :
- "Ramani has so many friends."
- "She has as many friends as Mohana."
- "Mohan has too much money."
Now lets see the detailed view of the points mentioned above :
Interrogative | Negative | Affirmative |

ReplyDeleteIs bread uncountable noun?
ReplyDeleteYep it is. Because in ancient days there is no criteria to measure bread because there were no perfect machinery to produce equal sizes of bread. So they made it in large quantity and used to cut it into small equal pieces. You can singularize it by the word "loaf". "I want some bread, two loaves please." (although a slice of bread, a piece, etc. are OK of course, in the right context).
