You can say "much water", but not "many water".
You can say "many chairs", but not "much chairs". 

"Much" is a word used to mean intensity (of temperature, for example) or volume (of water, sugar, gas, hours, days, years, etc.). Examples:

• I like you so much.
• You are working for many hours.
• I drink much water.
• There are many furnitures in this room.

I am talking about nouns and adjectives. I said you what is a noun in the post before this, but you need to know that nouns are of different types according to whether they have but a singular and a plural form, whether they must be used with a determiner and whether a verb shoud be singular or plural in order to agree with the noun. 

A determiner is a word that introduces a noun. Some examples of determiners: a, an, the, every, this, those, many, etc.

• There is a car in the parking.
• My car needs a new airbag.
• I have to work every day.
• I tould you about those children.
• You lived in that house for many years.

So, a determiner is a word that needs another word after that to make sense. 

There are two big groups of nouns: the countable and the uncountable nouns. The countable nouns are used to refer to countable things. Examples: many chairs, many children, many days, few chairs, few children, few days, etc.

The uncountable nouns are used to refer to uncountable things. Examples: much water, much love, few sugar, few importance, etc.

In the next post, I will tell you about a few more about countable and uncountable nouns.
