Much or A Lot 2

[Tdol]

;-)

 

[sanny]

okey, I get it

 

[Tdol]

Both are correct. We do use 'much' in the negative. ;-)

I don't understand, could you tell me?

 

[Tdol]

'I don't have much time' is natural English, but 'I have much time', though grammatically correct, sounds strange- we tend to use 'a lot of' in the positive. ;-)

 

[sanny]

okey, now I get that to.

Can I also say:

okey, now I got that to.

and what's the differents?

 

[RonBee]

okey, now I get that to.

Can I also say:

okey, now I got that to.

and what's the differents?

Say:

• Okay, now I get that too.

I don't think there is any difference between the two, practically speaking. (Okey is okay too.)

Okay, now I get that too!

I don't know why, but I always write 'to' with one 'o', although I most of the time know when to use it with two 'o's.

 

[Firelord]

is it "now i get that" or "now i got that"?

it should be " now i get that "right?

and the other question is

do you bring your pen?
oh, i _ .

here, which one will u use?
forget or forgot?

 

[Firelord]

so we also can say that, " we have a lot of money"
right?

right?

Right. :lol:

I'd say either 'get' or 'got', but only 'forgot'. ;-)

====

[Nary]

I am not sure but I think here I would use a lot of

 

[Koka]

I prefer a lot to write and much in talking ..

 

[julesrules]

It would be "Ok, I get that, too". Often Americans use "got" instead of "get" but that is not correct. Beware! You need a comma before the "too".

 

[lalith_sajan]

You should use forgot instead of forget.


Because forgot is a past and forget is future

I don't know why, but I always write 'to' with one 'o', although I most of the time know when to use it with two 'o's.

We use the word "to" when it is towards a direction, when you give something to a person or a thing, in addition to that, it is used in an infitive phrase. Eg. to make, to give, to bake, etc. etc.

We use "too" when you reckon or as replacement for the word "also."

For example:

I also like that shirt./I like that shirt too.

Thank you.
You told, we use `much' in only negative sentences. So, I hope, no one sentence in the world where `much' is used in affirmative sentences.
If I am wrong, please tell me.


Also, please check whether the following sentences are right or wrong.

I have a lot of food.
I don't have much food.


I gave a lot of money to him.
I didn't give much money to him.

Am I right?
