Hi Morteza
It's just like what we say in Persian, is that right?

Hi Saeed,
I don't think so.

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?

[Yuri Yurinov]

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".

A lot.Means a great quantity.You use it for countable nouns.
I have a lot of books.Means many.
Very is an adverb.you Use it in front of an adjective for example.These trousers are very big.

[Abdikadir]

a little bit its clear the difference between countable and uncountable
countable are things you can count like apple but uncountable are things you can't count like sugar
finally my question is how can i differenciate things become countable sametime and another time uncountable?

[Nick*]

“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” ?

[Lien]

much: used for uncountable nouns (water, sugar, coffee, money, etc.)
many: used for countable nouns (people, glasses of water, spoons, dogs, cats, etc,)
a lot: used for both countable and uncountable nouns (a lot of water, a lot of people). And, a lot may stand after a verb to describe the gradability (i drink a lot)
very: usually stand before an adjective to emphasize the gradability.

[Takenrerei]

Hi everybody,
Is a lot another of those used in countables and uncountables? Can we use a lot on its own or should it be used with a noun e.g. I want a lot or should it be with a noun like I want a lot of balls.
What does a lot mean? Is it singular or plural? But then there is another word like lots and that looks like the plural of a lot.
Please help.
