Lots of/many/much/very Mon Sep 25, 2006 10:59 am  Lots of/many/much/very
 

You can say either:

I have lots of friends.

or:

I have many friends.

'I have many of friends' is not correct.

'Much’ is normally used in negative statements and with uncountable nouns: I haven’t got much work to do.

‘Very’ is usually followed by an adjective or an adverb: They are very friendly.

Hi Conchita,

In the next sentence:

"There are lots of books... They are uncountables"

Is correct the use of "uncountables" ??

Thank you very much

No, alumno, you should use the word uncountable.
