'It is important to be a witness and at tims it's very painful. At times , you feel very inadequate that you can only do so much and no more'

or 'so much ' works as a phrase here? if thats so, can you please explain it why?

thanks

We cannot judge from your extract what is being 'witnessed', and 'witness' has several meanings, one of which is vaguely synonymous with 'spectator'. The former usually sees a crime or legal event, while the latter usually sees a sport or other visual entertainment. Being unable to do something does not make someone dumb, however: can you pilot a helicopter?

  • 'So much and no more' is a fixed phrase meaning 'an adequate / a limited amount', and that amount will be defined by the context.
