Grammar
much and many
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I seem to be encountering situations where the uses of 'much' and 'many' seem to making not much difference. Are these correct? 02 br
02 br
00 I will not be doing 01 u 00 much/many things 02 u 00 this afternoon. 02 br
02 br
00 I haven't seen 01 u 00 many things/much 02 u 00 when I was in Tokyo. I was too busy. 02 br
02 br
00 I will not be logging on 01 u 00 too much/too many times 02 u 00 from now on. 02 br
02 br
00 I have 01 u 00 much/many things 02 u 00 to do this evening. 02 br
02 br
00 Is that for some cases visualizing? conceptually will be OK, as well as taking it countably? How could I know what they are? Some clues to go by? 0-

00 Can I say choices between 'many' and 'much' are available in many cases? If yes, how would I know which one to use? If the choice of referring to a quantity of logging on is there, I think it can be said that the choice of referring to the number of logging on is there too -- can the both be OK depending on how a person was thinking at the same, in term
