Understanding “many” versus “much”

The words “much” and “many” are used to describe a large quantity of a noun.

Many” is used for countable nouns.

Many
  • I have many houses. << (These are countable nouns, because the person can have 1, 2, 3… houses)

  • She has many friends.

  • They have many paintings.

Much” is used for non-countable nouns.

Much
  • I don’t have much time.

  • She does not know much math.

  • There is not much sunlight.

You use “much” because time, math, and sunlight are nouns you cannot count.
