Heritage
Usually we use A/AN/THE for HERITAGE,
eg a nation with a rich heritage of folklore
but when can we simply say MUCH HERITAGE? What would be the difference between MUCH HERITAGE and MANY HERITAGES?
Thank you. OJ.

I don't imagine that you can say 'many heritages' in any normal context: it is uncountable: heritage noun [U]

Thank you~
So does MUCH HERITAGE make any sense? Are my sentences possible?:
-Much heritage will be destroyed.
-We don't have much heritage.

OttoJSo does MUCH HERITAGE make any sense? Are my sentences possible?:-Much heritage will be destroyed.-We don't have much heritage.Grammatically, yes. Semantically, the second sounds odd, since we all have just about the same amount of heritage, whether it be rich, poor or lost.
