How Much, How Many


Hello, everybody!
Hoje a explicação é sobre How Much/How Many.Parece difícil, mas a explicação e a aplicação é simples, vamos lá:

How much é usado para todos os singulares e contáveis, incluindo líquidos sem seus containeres. Ex.:


  • How much wine do we need for tonight?
  • How much bread do we have for the breakfast?
  • How much cheese is there in the fridge?
  • How much milk are you going to buy?
  • How much money do you have?
  • How much ham would you like?
  • How much chocolate would you like?
  • How much lettuce is there?

How many é usado para todos os plurais e contáveis. Ex.:

  • How many oranges do we need?
  • How many cartons of orange juice are there?
  • How many bottles of wine do we have?
  • How many cartons of milk are there?
  • How many eggs are there in the fridge?
  • How many apples do you need?
  • How many bars of chocolate would you like?
  • How many heads of lettuce are there?

Lembrando que contáveis são tudo o que você pode contar: an apple, a pear, an egg, a carrot, a tomato...
Incontáveis são o que não é possível contar, como  cheese, ham, salami (a piece, a pound / two, three pieces/ two, three pounds...), sugar, money... e outros.
