    Much or many
    Message from dennis17 posted on 11-10-2011 at 17:41:45 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    When do you use much and many?
    Is this sentence correct?
    There are too many spelling mistakes in that copy.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello,
    "Much" is used with a singular noun, "Many" with a plural. It's as simple as that. In your sentence, the noun is "mistakes", so it's "many".
    Also think of "How much/many", "too much/many", "so much/many" as they're used very very often!
    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    Many is used with countable nouns with plural forms, much is used uncable with uncountable nouns, which are always in singular form.

    Eg: I have many problems learning the language. I devoted much time
