Слово Many употребляется с исчисляемыми существительными.

Например: There are many cups on the table. - На столе много чашек.

Чашки посчитать можно.

Much

А вот можно ли посчитать содержимое чашек: чай (tea), кофе (coffee) или воду (water)? Нет! Потому что всё это - жидкости. А жидкости мы считаем литрами, стаканами, каплями… Но если мы посчитаем чай чашками, мы уже будем считать не чай, а чашки.

Вот и получается, что чай, как и все жидкости, - неисчисляемое существительное.

Слово Much употребляется с неисчисляемыми существительными.

Hi Freda

Thanks for your email. We're now in our new house in Canada, and it's amazing! It's (more modern) and (spacious) than our old house in London, and the garden's much (bigger) as well. The neighbours are (friendlier) too. My college is just ten minutes away by bus - (closer) than my old college in London. The teachers are generally great, but some of the coursework is much (more difficult) here. I've got a part-time job after college - I'm working in a restaurant. The food is a bit (more expensive) than in England, but it's also (tastier). Fish and chips are delicious!

There's only one real negative at the moment: the weather! The winter here is much (colder) and (snowier) than in England.

I can't wait for spring!​
