PEMBAHASAN

Penggunaan "much" dan "many" terkait dengan perbedaan penghitungan atau kuantitas dalam bahasa Inggris.

1. "Much" digunakan dengan benda tak terhitung (uncountable nouns), yaitu benda yang tidak dapat dihitung secara individu atau tidak memiliki bentuk yang terpisah-pisah. Contohnya: water (air), flour (tepung), money (uang), dan honey (madu). Contoh kalimat:

• There is much water in the glass. (Ada banyak air di dalam gelas.)
• I don't have much money right now. (Saya tidak punya banyak uang saat ini.)

2. "Many" digunakan dengan benda yang dapat dihitung (countable nouns), yaitu benda yang dapat dihitung secara individu. Contohnya: teeth (gigi), countries (negara), languages (bahasa), people (orang), dan customers (pelanggan). Contoh kalimat:

• How many teeth does a human have? (Berapa banyak gigi yang dimiliki manusia?)
• I have visited many countries in my life. (Saya telah mengunjungi banyak negara dalam hidup saya.)
