MUCH - MANY - A LOT
We use much and many mostly in question and negative.
Much is used with uncountable nouns, and many is used
with countable plural nouns.

- We haven’t got much rice left.
- Has he got many books?
- He hasn’t got many books.

(of) and lots (of). We use a lot (of), lots (of) with
both uncountable nouns and plural nouns.
Ex: - We’ve got a lot of milk.
× (Not: We’ve got much milk.)
- He’s got a lot of / plenty of books.
× (Not normally: He’s got many books.)
