Much of and most of
Hi. Could we use the phrase "much of" with a countable noun? I think we mostly see them with uncountable nouns (if I am not mistaken). Could we also use the phrase "most of" with countable nouns? Again I think we mostly see them with uncountable nouns (again if I am not mistaken). Thank you in advance. eg,1. I couldn't read much of your essay.2. He doesn't think much of your possessions.3.I couldn't read most of your essay.
