- HOW MUCH = ¿cuánto? (singular)
- HOW MANY = ¿cuántos? (plural)
Este vídeo de presentación es difícil de entender, pero no te preocupes, lee la transcripción y verás cómo sí entiendes algo. Estas son las preguntas:

- How many Eric-Friedenthals does it take to unscrew a light bulb? = ¿cuántos Eric-Friedenthals se necesitan para desenroscar una bombilla?
- How many very very heavy, very compact, very very strong concrete blocks can I pick up on one arm? = ¿cuántos bloques de cemento muy muy pesados, muy compactos y muy muy fuertes puedo levantar en un brazo?

Report mistakesFirst, let's remember the use of MUCH and MANY:
MUCH/MANY, A LOT OF
COUNTABLE NOUNS (C)
MANY
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS (U) MUCH
COUNTABLE / UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS A LOT OF
C- I have many books
U- I don't have much money
C/U- I have a lot of books. I don't have a lot of money
MUCH/MANY negative and interrogative sentences
A LOT OF affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences
+ I have a lot of books. I have a lot of money
- I don't have many books. I don't have a lot of books
- I don't have much money. I don't have a lot of money
? Do you have many books? Do you have a lot of books?
? Do you have much money? Do you have a lot of money
You can also use MANY in affirmatives (I have many friends) but not usually.
CONCLUSION: You can always use A LOT OF (but be careful if you want to use MUCH or MANY)
Now it is easy to learn the difference between HOW MUCH and HOW MANY
HOW MUCH? To ask for quantities (uncountable nouns)
- How much water do you want?
- How much time have we got?
HOW MANY To ask for numbers (countable nouns)
- How many apples do you want?
- How many books are there in the library?
We can also say that we use HOW MUCH? for singular nouns and HOW MANY for plurals.
PRICE
You can also use HOW MUCH? to ask for the price of something:
- How much is that book? - It's 2 dollars
