Hi, Avangi

So the comparative and superlative forms of much and many are the same then?

English 1b3 So the comparative and superlative forms of much and many are the same then?

Hi, English.
Yes, according to my humble dictionary.

Hi,

I suppose that makes sense since they have the same meaning-- only one is used for countable nouns and the other for non-count.

I'm trying to think of a sentence with 'much' used as an adjective without 'so' preceding it...I can't. Can you?

Not without sounding "bookish." We would casually say, "a lot of."

We encountered much trouble with immigration along the way.
We encountered many problems etc.

"A lot of" works in both cases.

Ah, that one doesn't sound too bad to me! In fact, I quite like it.

But this one:

There was much sand on the towel.

I assume you also think this sounds 'bookish'

Yes, you do.

While I have your unwavering attention, I will like to draw your attention to the thread I have provided the link for below. Cautio
