Hi Edna! 1. For words that can end in "s" (apples, friends, books, cookies, kids, pets), we use "many" or "a few." These are called "count nouns." 2. For words that don't usually end with "s" (money, sugar, coffee, food, bread, sand, information), we use "much" or "a little." These are called non-count" nouns. 3. "People" is an irregular noun. In other words, it is a "count noun" (you can count people), but we don't usually add "s" to "people." So we use "many" or "a few." 4. "Time" is tricky because it has at least 2 meanings. "How many times did the phone ring?" vs "How much time do we have?" Note that we often use "much" in questions and negative sentences: "Do you have much sand in your shoes," and "I don't have much sand in my shoes." However, it's often more common to say, "I have lots of sand in my shoes." - an affirmative sentence. "I have much sand in my shoes," is grammatically correct, just not so common. ~Hope this explanation helps! :)
Sometimes countable, sometimes uncountable. For example: "How many times did you watch that movie?" - "Three times." . . . is countable. "How much time did you spend on your homework?" - "Not much time. Only 20 minutes." . . . is uncountable. Hope this helps. :)
I've got 17 out of 18 YEAAH😀😂I'm so happy😊I made a mistake in the fourth example I thought "time is uncountable"then I translate it with the help of a translator😂and then I understood😂🙃Thanks a lot🤗❤
Hi Anjum, thanks for asking! In English, we can count "slices" of bread ("two slices of bread"); "loaves" of bread ("one loaf of bread"); we can even count "pieces" of bread ("three small pieces of bread"). But we never say, for example, "I bought five breads yesterday." We always use a "quantifier" (e.g. slice, loaf, piece, etc.) when we count (using bread), and it is the quantifiers that we count, not the bread itself. Again, thanks for asking! :)
But I need reason please and please 🙏😢

time is countable or uncountable??
Sometimes countable, sometimes uncountable.
For example: "How many times did you watch that movie?" - "Three times." . . . is countable.
"How much time did you spend on your homework?" - "Not much time. Only 20 minutes." . . . is uncountable.
Hope this helps. :)
