How much和How many之间的区别
How much and how many are phrases that are used with countable and non-countable nouns.
How much和How many是用于可数名词和不可数名词的短语。
People trying to master the English language are often confused between how much and how many when they have to use either of the two phrases?
想要掌握英语的人在不得不使用“how much"和“how many”这两个短语时，经常会感到困惑。
However, despite similarities, it is rather easy to understand whether to use how much or how many in a given situation. Let us take a closer look.
然而，尽管有相似之处，在给定的情况下是使用how much还是使用how many还是很容易理解的。让我们仔细看。
How Many
We use how many to enquire about the quantity when the nouns in question are countable. For example, take a look at these sentences:
当所讨论的名词是可数名词时，我们用hov v many来询问数量。例如，看看这些句子:
·How many books are there in your bag?
·你包里有多少本书?
·How many apples are there in a kilogram?
·一公斤的苹果有多少个?
·How many boys are present in the class?
·班上有多少男生?
It is clear that one can count the numbers of boys, apples, and books easily and the exact answer can be given specifying the number boys, apples, and books.
很明显，一个人可以很容易地数出男孩、苹果和书的数量，并且可以指定男孩、苹果和书的数量来合出确切的答案。
Many itself means a lot of but if there are not many books in the bag, the answer can either be in the exact number or as not many or just a few to indicate the fact.
Many本身意味着很多，但如果包里的书不多，答案可以是确切的数字，也可以是不多，或者只是一些以此来表明事实。
How much
In English, how much is often combined with non-countable qualities such as milk, sugar, time, water, and fun.
在英语中，how much经常和不可数的东西结合在一起，比如牛奶、糖、时间、水和乐趣.
For example: 例如
·How much time do we have before the movie starts?
·离电影开始还有多少时间?
In this sentence, time is an uncountable noun, so you should use How much.
在这个句子中，时间是一个不可数名词，所以你应该用 How much。
Money is another example of a non-countable noun, so when talking about money and cost you will need to use the phrase "how much".
Money是另一个不可数名词的例子，所以当谈论钱和成本时，你需要使用短语“how much”。
·How much does the book cost?
这本书多少钱?
·How much do the toys cost?
这些玩具多少钱?
How much can also be used with the term “to be" to ask about a prices.
How much也可以和to be连用来询问价格。
How much is it?
·这个多少钱?
·How much are the apples?
·这些苹果多少钱?
However, if the question concerns a specific unit of a currency such as dollars or pesos, both of which are countable, you should use how many.
但是，如果问题涉及到一种货币的特定单位，如美元或比索，这两个都是可数的，你应该使用how many。
For example: 例如
.How many dollars does the house cost?
·这房子值多少美元?
·How many euros do you need for lunch?
·你的午餐需要多少欧元?
.How many pesos can you afford?你能付得起多少比索?
