=== Uso di ''much, many, too'' ===

* ''Much'' significa "molto" e si usa con sostantivi non numerabili (uncountable nouns), mentre ''many'' si usa con sostantivi plurali numerabili (countable nouns). Entrambi vegono usati in frasi negative e nelle domande. Nelle frasi affermative si usa di solito ''lots of'' / ''a lot of''.

Esempi. They haven't got many books (countable nouns). They haven't got much food (uncountable noun). Chris has got lots of / a lot of books (frase affermativa).

* ''Too'' (troppo) si usa con aggettivi; ''too much'' con sostantivi non numerabili e con verbi, ''too many'' con sostantivi plurali numerabili.

Esempi. He's too shy (= è troppo timido). He has got too much money ! (= possiede troppo denaro!). I'm tired because I worked too much (= sono stanco poiché ho lavorato troppo). There were too many people in the museum (= c'era troppa gente nel museo).

* Analogamente abbiamo ''so'' (così) prima di aggettivi, ''so much'' prima di uncountable nouns e ''so many'' prima di countable nouns. Segue la congiunzione consecutiva ''that''.

Esempi. Peter was so happy that he called all his friends. I have so much work that I won't be able to sleep until Thursday. That Company has so many employees that it's difficult to keep track of them all.
