Much (uncountable) & Many (countable)
- Why do you ask me so many questions? Do you have too much time? - No, I want to learn more. - Well, then you should buy a good grammar book. It doesn't cost that much. - But I already have so many books and it always takes so much time to find the right one. - Really? How many books do you have? - I don't know the exact number but it must be over three hundred. - Well, that's quite a lot. You have a lot of books. You have lots of books. - How much time do you spend reading them? - Oh, I don't read that much these days. My friend says I need more exercise because I'm getting fat. - I think your friend is right. A lot of people don't do enough for their bodies. It's different with me though: I do a lot of sports. - Do you? I would do more sports too if I had somewhere to go to. There aren't any good sports facilities in this town. - You must be kidding/joking. There are a lot of places for sports. You just have to take action. - OK, you are right. Why don't you take me with you the next time you go? I think we can have a lot of fun together. - OK, I’ll call you the next time I go to the gym. I must run now -- there are more people who want to ask me questions. - Oh, I see. It's always the same. Everybody seems to be in a hurry today. Anyway, many thanks to you for your advice. |
I have many books = I have a lot of books = I have lots of books - tengo muchos libros
