usually have the determiner ‘a’ or ‘an’ before them, e.g. a book.

field?

use the word ‘many’. use the word ‘many’.
When to Use ‘Much’
We use the word ‘much’ when talking about uncountable nouns.
This means nouns that you cannot count and do not have the
determiner ‘a’ or ‘an’ before them, e.g. rain.

put in the car? you like on your hot dog?

What about Money?
When talking about money, we would ask:

How much money do you have?

This is because the word money can refer to notes, coins,


pennies, pounds and lots of other currencies. Therefore, it is a
uncountable noun.

If you wanted to ask about a specific coin, you would say:


How many 20p coins do you have?

This is because the 20p coins are a countable noun.

If the noun is countable, use

‘many’. If the noun is


uncountable,
use

‘much
’.
