Much и many переводятся как «много» и указывают на большое количество чего-либо.

— Much употребляется с неисчисляемыми существительными (которые мы не можем посчитать):
Much juce, much sugar (мы не можем посчитать сок, так как это жидкость, сок можно посчитать только в стаканах; сахар мы тоже не можем посчитать, так как его по крупинкам никто считать не будет).

Many cookies, many cats, many men.
