AEE 209: Baking Many Cookies with All Ears English

Is it correct to ask how much, or how many in English? Today, in #4
of the Top 15 Fixes series, we discuss using the words 'much' and
'many' when discussing quantities!   It’s important to think
of the meaning of the words much and many, and how each is used
differently in counting.   If you're counting something as a
mass that can be spilled on the table so that it goes everywhere,
you would use the word 'much'. Examples include: Grainy or powdery
substances like sugar or flour Liquids, semi-liquids or semi-solids
like milk, honey or butter Money (when considered abstractly, as in
“too much money”)   If you are counting individual pieces, use
the word 'many'. Examples include: Grains such as sugar counted
individually Groups of items, like chocolate chips, marshmallows or
berries Countable units, such as cups, teaspoons or bags
