Many, much or a lot of?
1) Tick the correct sentence in each pair.
l a I hope many people will come to the disco.
b I hope a lot of people will come to the disco.

We use many with countable nouns and much with uncountable nouns in negative statements and questions:
I didn't have much fun at the party.
Did you take many photos when you were on holiday?
We sometimes use a lot of in positive and negative statements and questions, in informal and spoken English, though it is not considered correct in written and formal English:
I tried on a lot of clothes in the shop.
I didn't have a lot of fun at the party.
Did you take a lot of photos when you were on holiday?
We use a lot without a noun:
The teacher told me a lot about his experiences.
We use much without a noun in negative statements and questions:
The lesson was interesting, but we didn't learn much.
Do you use the Internet much?
