Usage of much.

Hello teachers,

Which is correct ?

"He returned my phone after I pleaded too much.

Or

"He returned my phone after much pleading."

Can I also use much in this way?

"After much frustration I decided to leave the party."

Or much anger, much humiliation.

Thank you.

After much begging and pleading, the boy's father finally relented and agreed to buy him an Apple iphone X. " Grammatically, it's OK, but the situation is rather implausible. What would be so frustrating at a party to cause you to leave?

This one.

It's grammatically OK, but be sure that "frustration" is really the word you want. Frustration is not the most common emotion that one would associate
