AEE 209: Baking Many Cookies with All Ears English

Is it correct to ask how much, or how many in English? Today, in #4 of the Top 15 Fixes series, we discuss using the words 'much' and 'many' when discussing quantities! It’s important to think of the meaning of the words much and many, and how each is used differently in counting. If you're counting something as a mass that can be spilled on the table so that it goes everywhere, you would use the word 'much'. Examples include: Grainy or powdery substances like sugar or flour Liquids, semi-liquids or semi-solids like milk, honey or butter Money (when considered abstractly, as in “too much money”) If you are counting individual pieces, use the word 'many'. Examples include: Grains such as sugar counted individually Groups of items, like chocolate chips, marshmallows or berries Countable units, such as cups, teaspoons or bags Other Entries in the 15 Fixes Series: Episode 165: Listen or Hear?
