- Many is used with countable nouns, such as many apples, where you can count the items individually.
- Much is used with uncountable nouns, which are items or concepts that cannot be counted individually, like much water.
- Think of many as related to the question How many? and much as related to How much?
- Use many when referring to things you can enumerate, like books, cars, stars.
- Use much when discussing quantities or volumes that you cant count separately, like milk, sugar, or patience.'
