Grammar

Many en Much betekenen veel.

Many gebruik je bij meervoud en telbare dingen. Je kan het tellen.

Much gebruik je bij enkelvoud en ontelbare dingen. Je kan het niet tellen.

de regel 

Much gebruik je voor "uncountable" nouns = znw die geen meervoud hebben bv money

Many gebruik je voor "countable"nouns = znw die een meervoud hebben bv coins

Much is used for uncountable nouns : nouns that do not have a 

plural - money - water- air

Many is used for countable nouns - nouns that have a plural form such as coins - bottles - apples - tables- people
