Much, many, and a lot of

What do you remember about this?

Show explanation

Use many with things you can count and much with an amount that English does not usually count as separate items. Use a lot of with either plural countable nouns or uncountable nouns. Much and many are common in questions and negatives; a lot of often sounds more natural in positive conversation.

We do not have much time, but we have a lot of ideas.
