Is it correct to ask how much, or how many in English?\nToday, in #4 of the Top 15 Fixes series, we discuss using the words 'much' and 'many' when discussing quantities!\n\xa0\nIt\u2019s important to think of the meaning of the words much and many, and how each is used differently in counting.\n\xa0\nIf you're counting something as a mass that can be spilled on the table so that it goes everywhere, you would use the word 'much'. Examples include:\n\nGrainy or powdery substances like sugar or flour\n\nLiquids, semi-liquids or semi-solids like milk, honey or butter\n\nMoney (when considered abstractly, as in \u201ctoo much money\u201d)\n\n\xa0\nIf you are counting individual pieces, use the word 'many'. Examples include:\n\nGrains such as sugar counted individually\n\nGroups of items, like chocolate chips, marshmallows or berries\n\nCountable units, such as cups, teaspoons or bags\n\n\xa0\nOther Entries in the 15 Fixes Series:\n\n\nEpisode 165: Listen or Hear?\n\n\nEpisode 169: Speak, Talk, Tell and Say?\n\n\n Episode 173:\xa0Wish vs. Hope\n\n\nEpisode 177: Talking About Age in English\n\n\nEpisode 181: Future Tense in English\n\n\n Episode 185: Interested or Interesting?\n\n\nEpisode 189: Talking About the Past\n\n\n Episode 193: How to Borrow Money\n\n\nEpisode 197: Who Pays for Lunch?\n\n\nEpisode 201: Will vs. Going To\n\n\nEpisode 205: Talking about People\n\n\xa0\nDo you have any examples for using much and many in your baking or cooking?\nShare with us in the comments section below!\nLearn more about your ad choices.
