    Smile Much/many

    Hello everyone! I've a question. Do we say, I read much english books or I read many english books. Because english is an uncountable noun and book is a countable noun. Which is correct?

    NOT A TEACHER


    (1) I believe that "English" in your sentence is not a noun. It's an adjective:

    English books.
    Good books.
    Interesting books.

    (2) Therefore: I read many English/good/interesting books.

    P.S. As you know, it is a noun in "English is the international language."
