Answer 1

Существительные исчисляемые, т.е которые могут стоять во множественном числе, то перед ними будет many, а перед неисчисляемыми, т.е которые не могут быть во мн.числе будет much. Например many books (в конце сущ. стоит окончание мн.числа -s, es); much water, much juice(sugar, milk, butter, coffee, fish, bread, desert, soup, ice-cream)

Answer 2

To choose between "much" and "many," follow these guidelines:

• "Much" is used with uncountable nouns, which are things that cannot be counted as discrete units.
