much, many, a lot, (a) few, (a) little

What do you remember?

Many, much, a lot 

Al deze woorden betekenen dus: veel

Let op!

Many of much kan grammaticaal a lot of vervangen in bevestigende

zinnen. Grammaticaal is dit correct.

Dit wordt echter alleen gedaan bij hele formele taal. Een toespraak
van de koningin bijvoorbeeld.

In regel gebruik je a lot of voor bevestigende zinnen en many/much voor
vragende of ontkennende zinnen.
