In the previous post, we looked at uncountable and countable nouns. Now that we know what they are and how we use them, it is realistically not difficult to understand the difference between "much" and "many". Simply put, we use "much" for uncountable nouns, and "many" for countable nouns:
Jake made many trips to the washroom because he drank too much water.
In the example above, trip is countable, so we use many as its quantifier. Water is not countable, so we would use much to quantify it.
