Much, many and a lot.
Từ nay mình sẽ chỉ viết bằng tiếng Anh, các bạn có thể vừa học ngữ pháp vừa học được từ vựng, câu, thì,....Vì mình có nhiều người bạn trên skype cần học tiếng Anh, nhưng họ không phải là người Việt. Mình dạy họ học tiếng Anh và họ dạy mình học ngôn ngữ của họ. Mình tin với vốn từ vựng mà các bạn có mấy năm trời sẽ hiểu được những bài viết của mình, nếu từ nào hoặc câu nào, ý nào các bạn không hiểu có thể tra từ điển, hoặc để lại comment, mình sẽ trả lời ngay trong ngày vì mình ngày nào cũng onl facebook hehe... Hy vọng với cách viết bài mới này, các bạn sẽ thích. Chúc các bạn thành công.
Much, many, a lot:
"Much", "many", and "a lot of" indicate a large quantity of something, for example "I have a lot of friends " means I have a large quantity of friends.
Much, many, and a lot are quantifiers.
Much, many, and a lot are quantifiers.
Study the examples below:
How much money have you got? I haven't got much money. I have got a lot. I have got a lot of money. How many students are in the classroom? There aren't many. There are a lot. There are a lot of/lots of students.
| How much money have you got? | I haven't got much money. |
| I have got a lot. | |
| I have got a lot of money. | |
| How many students are in the classroom? | There aren't many. |
| There are a lot. | |
| There are a lot of/lots of students. |
In the interrogative forms we use:
- much with uncountable nouns. (money, bread, water...)
Example:
How much money/bread/water...is there? - many with countable nouns. (students, desks, windows...)
Example:
How many students/teachers/desks... are there?
- much with uncountable nouns. (money, bread, water...)
Example:
How much money/bread/water...is there? - many with countable nouns. (students, desks, windows...)
Example:
How many students/teachers/desks... are there?
In the negative forms we use:
- much with uncountable nouns. (money, bread, water...)
Example:

- much with uncountable nouns. (money, bread, water...)
Example:

In the affirmative forms:
In spoken English and informal writing we tend to use:
- a lot, a lot of, lots of with countable and uncountable nouns.
Example:
"How many students are there in the classroom?"
"There are a lot."
"How many students are there in the classroom?"
"There are a lot of / lots of students"..
In formal written English:
- It is also possible (and preferable) to use many and much rather than a lot of, lots of and a lot in formal written English.
Example:
There are many students.
Much time was spent on studying.
So if you're speaking or writing to friends (informal), use a lot, a lot of, lots of. But if you want to be more formal, perhaps it is preferable to use much and many.
