Hi All
I want to learn if we can use "many - much" in positive sentences whenever we want. As far as I know, they are generally used in negative and question sentences. In positive sentences, they should either be part of the subject of the sentence... e.g....
"Many of the guests liked him"
..... or they should be supported with another adjective such as too,so....etc. e.g....
"There was too much sugar in my tea."
However, I sometimes see using of these quantifiers in positive sentences which are not compatible with the 2 criterias above. e.g....
"I have many friends"
Is this sentence grammatically correct or does it have to be...
"I have a lot of/lots of/plenty of friends.
Thanks
