USING "MUCH" AND"MANY"

Much and many are mainly used in interrogative and negative sentences. They are also used in affirmative and negative sentences in combination with too and so.

Notice: the word many can be used alone in affirmative sentences while the word much cannot. Much is replaced in affirmative sentences with a lot of or lots of (these expressions can also replace many).
