Os três indicam a mesma coisa: uma grande quantidade. No entanto, o uso de cada um irá depender justamente do tipo de substantivo.
- “Much” é usado nos casos de substantivos não-contáveis.
Ex: How much sugar do you need? = Quanto de açúcar você precisa?
- “Many” é usado nos casos de substantives contáveis.
Ex: How many students are there? = Quantos estudantes estão lá?
- “A lot of” é usado em ambos os casos.
Ex: I have a lot of thing to do. = Eu tenho um monte de coisas pra fazer.
“Little”, “Few” e “Enough”
Os quantifiers “little” e “few” possuem o mesmo significado: uma pequena quantidade de uma coisa. A diferença entre os dois é que enquanto “little” se refere aos substantivos não-contáveis, “few” se refere aos contáveis.
Ex: There are a few people in theater. = Há poucas pessoas no teatro.
Add a little sugar, please. = Adicione um pouco de açúcar, por favor. fonte:brasilescola
