Answer 2

1) I do not want many potatoes but I want much meat.

In this sentence, we use "many" with countable nouns, such as potatoes, because we can easily count the number of potatoes. However, we use "much" with uncountable nouns, such as meat, because it refers to something that cannot be easily counted or quantified.

2) I know many Italian people.

Here, "many" is used because we are referring to a countable noun - people. We can count the number of Italian individuals that the speaker knows.

3) I can drink much milk but I cannot drink tea.

In this case, "much" is used with the uncountable noun milk. Tea is also an uncountable noun, but the speaker is referring to not being able to drink tea at all, therefore, "cannot drink tea" is used.

4) I do not eat much fish but I eat much cheese.

Here, "much" is used with both fish and cheese because they are uncountable nouns. The speaker implies that they do not consume a large quantity of fish but consume a larger quantity of cheese.
