Ways to tell them apart:
- "Many" is used with countable nouns, while "much" is used with uncountable nouns.

- An easy tip: "many" often precedes plural nouns, whereas "much" usually comes before singular nouns.
- Remember: "many" and "how many" for countable, "much" and "how much" for uncountable.
