A lot/Much
0 Hi Everyone, 02 br
02 br
00 I'm not sure if I'm correct that the modifier 'a lot' and 'much' both can be used with uncountable noun. 02 br
00 So, a lot of times, it's confusing. 02 br
02 br
00 1) There is a lot of snow. 02 br
02 br
00 2) There is much snow. 02 br
02 br
00 3) There is much of snow. 02 br
02 br
00 Which of above sentences are correct? And, please explain me how to use 'much'. 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks in Advance, 0-

0 I don't think #2 sounds good. "Much" is mainly used in negative and interrogative sentences. Of course it's possible, but maybe too formal or even literary. 02 br
01 i 00 There's a lot of snow. There's not much snow. 02 i 02 br

0 Well, but what's the probability of hearing "There's much snow"? I thought it was pretty low. 0-
