There is a lot of bread. There isn’t much olive oil. There aren’t many potatoes.
Bread, olive oil, cheese, lemon juice, butter и pepper здесь неисчисляемые, поэтому в вопросах How much ... is there? Eggs, potatoes, tomatoes и biscuits можно сосчитать, поэтому How many ... are there? На рисунке в корзине много хлеба и в шкафчике много печенья. Сыра тоже достаточно много. Яиц, картофелин и помидоров мало: Not many. Для небольшого количества масла, сока, сливочного масла и перца говорим Not much. В рассказе по памяти a lot of означает «много»; much относится к неисчисляемому слову, many — к исчисляемому во множественном числе.
