    Use of much / many


    In everyday English, we normally use much / many only in questions and negative clauses.

    Example: How much money have you got? Carla does not have many friends.
    In positive clauses with so, as or too, we also use much / many.

    Example: Carla has so many friends. She has as many friends as Sue. Kevin has too much money.
    In all other positive clauses, however, we prefer expressions like a lot of / lots of.

    Example: Carla has a lot of / lots of friends. Kevin has a lot of / lots of money.
    In formal texts, however, much / many are also common in positive clauses. This you will notice for example when you read English news.

    Countable / Uncountable Nouns


    In connection with much / many people often speak of countable nouns and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns have a singular and a plural form. In plural, these nouns can be used with a number (that's why they are called 'countable nouns'). Countable nouns take many.

    Example: 100 friends many friends


    Uncountable nouns can only be used in singular. These nouns cannot be used with a number (that's why they are called 'uncountable nouns'). Uncountable nouns take much.

    Example: 100 money much money


    Note: Of course you can count money but then you would name the currency and say that you have got 5 euro (but not 5 money).
