Level 2 Unit 2 -
Much, Many, A lot of

Complete the sentences.
Fill in all the gaps, "Check" to see your answers. "Hint" gives a free letter.
A good general rule:
Use "much" and "many" for questions and negatives.
Use "a lot of" for affirmatives:
Do you drink much water?
I don't have many cigarettes.
A lot of old people live in Florida.

This rule is not always necessary but it avoids mistakes.

In affirmatives:
Much
Use for quantities you cannot count:
much water, much time, much traffic etc.
exception: much money (you can count it but it is always "much" - or "a lot of" money)

Many
Use for things you can count:
many pens, many people, many apples, many buildings, many cars etc.
