People often get confused between 'how much' and 'how many.'
It is easy to remember which to use! Use 'how many' for countable nouns, and 'how much' for uncountable nouns.
| How many sisters do you have? |
| How much time do we have left? |
Sometimes, you don't want to give an exact number when someone asks you 'how many.' Instead, you can use general phrases to explain.
