Hi RECEP,
It all depends on count & non-count nouns ,
For Example: You must drink a lot (not alot) of water.
"much" is used for mostly non-count nouns.
"very" & "many" are used for count-nouns.

Regards
Noren Lee
(NEPAL)

count-nouns = "the things that we can count"
non-count nouns= "the things that we cannot count"

Hi its Aida from Australia
many = things we can count... many books, many occaisions or many people.
much = things we can't count.. love you very much!! much rain, too much hussle.
in other words many is for countable things and much is for uncountable things.
Did I make it easy?

We can use "many" only with countable nouns (many apples) and "much" only with uncountable ones. The use of "a lot" will be correct with both countable and uncountable nouns: "a lot of drink", "a lot of potatoes".
As for "very", this word is mostly used to show a degree of amount or quality or some other aspects of different things: "very much, "very many", "very beautiful", "very ugly".

countable are things you can count like apple but uncountable are things you can't count like sugar

“Much” is used for uncountable nouns.
How about “much more”? Is it for countable nouns?
Is the phrase “much more details” better than “much more detail” ?
