How to use "MANY", "MUCH" & "A LOT OF" [ ForB English Lesson ]

Welcome to ForB's English lesson video! This time Kevin is going to explain how to use "MANY", "MUCH" and "A LOT OF." How do you use "many", "much" and "a lot of"? Do you know the difference? Let's watch the video!👍 ★ Transcript Hello everyone and welcome to ForB's English lesson video. I'm Kevin and today we're going to talk about using "many, much" and "a lot of." These are very useful words for talking about a large number of things. But, we use them a little differently from each other. Now, English has two kinds of nouns. Countable nouns. People, cats, dogs. We have one person, five people. One cat, five cats. These are countable nouns. And, there are uncountable nouns. Like snow, water, rain. So, one water. Five waters. Mmm. We can't say that in English. These are uncountable nouns. So, first "many". Do we use "many" with countable or uncountable nouns? That's right. Countable nouns. Many people, many cats. OK. Now, "much" Countable? Uncountable? Right. Uncountable nouns. So, much snow, much rain. OK. Finally, "a lot of." Countable? Uncountable? Correct, it's both. So, "a lot of people." OK. "A lot of water." Also OK. So, "a lot of", very flexible. Now, let's look at some sentences. Try to guess which expression fits in the blank. First, we have some positive sentences. First one. " There are ( ) people." What fits in the blank here? OK. So, "There are many people." OK. "People" is countable. We can use "many." But, also "There are a lot of people." Both, "many", "a lot of", both are OK. Our second sentence. "There is ( ) snow." What fits here? OK. It's a little tricky. "There is a lot of snow." OK. "A lot of" we can use with uncountable. But, "There is much snow." Not OK. Even though "snow" is uncountable, we can't use "much" in a positive sentence. I don't know why. It's a strange thing about English, but if you say "There is much snow.", it sounds very strange. We never say that. So, for positive sentence, uncountable noun, only " a lot of." OK, next let's look at negative sentences. These sentences have a "not" or "never." First one. "There aren't ( ) people." Again, what fits in the blank?" OK. Again, "many" is OK. "There aren't many people." or "a lot of" also OK. "There aren't a lot of people." Second sentence. "There isn't ( ) snow." What fits here? That's right. Again, "a lot of" is OK or "much" OK, too. "There isn't much snow." Great. "There isn't a lot of snow." Also fine. OK. Finally, let's look at some questions. "Are there ( ) people?" What fits in the blank here? Did you get it? Again, both "many" or "a lot of", both are fine. "Are there many people?" Great. "Are there a lot of people?" Also OK. Last question. "Is there ( ) snow?" What fits here? OK. Again, both "much" and "a lot of", both are great. "Is there much snow?", "Is there a lot of snow?" Both of those questions are fine. OK. So we've covered a lot of information in today's video. Let's do a quick review. First, we have "many." We can use with countable nouns and positive sentences, negative sentences or questions with countable nouns. "Many" always OK. Next, is "much." We use with uncountable nouns. But, positive sentence, no. Even if it's an uncountable noun, we can't use "much." But, negative sentence or question with uncountable noun, "much" is OK. Finally, " a lot of " is our most flexible. It works with both countable and uncountable and positive sentences, negative sentences or questions. "A lot of" is always fine to use.
