Hi all!
I am a little bit confused with using "much", "many" and "a lot of" :-/
The rule says that we use "much" with uncountable, "many" with countable and "a lot of" with both. But I can't even think of a sentence in which i would used "much" or "many" - i would always use "a lot of". (for ex. i have a lot of milk in the fridge, i have a lot of work to do, i have a lot of friends, i read a lot of books). - it sounds for me better than "i read many books". Which variant would you suggest to use? Is it ok if I use "a lot of all the time"?
And there is one more question - our teacher told us that we cant say "much work" or "much petrol" in spite of it is uncountable. i just cant understand why it is so?
I would be very grateful if you would help me!
