I think we should put a accountable noun to be modified after 'how many' like this:
How many hours do you spend ?
As for 'much', which usually modifies to unaccountable nouns like 'money',but it's better the whole sentence written like this:
How much do you spend on (new bike.....)?

Am I complete right?

Am I complete right?

May I make a suggestion?

It's countable and uncountable. Also, say: "Am I completely right?" Other than that, your answer looks pretty good to me.

I agree with Ron, Lucy- an acountable noun would have a boss or someone to report to and explain its actions. )

Thanks RonBee for your corrections, I love it for I 've got so many mistakes on my English which need correction definitely from experts, for I myself can't find my own mistakes. I even wonder if I should get some systemetic studying.....

Thanks again!

Well, I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I suppose it is a relative term. :)

Do you think this forum has been helpful so far? Do you think you are using English more effectively because of it?

I make plenty of mistakes myself. Please point them out when you see them. :wink:

You are welcome always.

Naaa!!!

Um, it's systematic, but perhaps that was a typo.

Words that end in -atic:

• acrobatic
  asthmatic
  autocratic
  automatic
  axiomatic
  charismatic
  democratic
  dramatic

I'm sorry Ron, it's not a typo, indeed it's my spelling mistake as you guessed already, thanks for your correction and relative references.
BTW, do you think I'm now qualified to point out mistake from others? I assume it's very hard to do it especially from experts' remarks for me. Anyway I will try from now on, hehe....so watch out, everyone! :wink:
