Hoe vertaal je 'veel' naar het Engels?

Much of many?

Much en many betekenen allebei ‘veel’.

• Bij dingen die je kunt tellen, gebruik je many.
• Bij dingen die je niet kunt tellen, zoals vloeistoffen, geld etc. gebruik je much:

For example: I haven't got many shoes.

                            There is much money in his bag.

A lot of / lots of

In plaats van much / many wordt ook a lot of / lots of gebruikt. Maar dan wel in bevestigende zinnen, dus niet in vragen of ontkenningen:

• There are lots of/ a lot of sweets in the bowl. 
• A lot of/ lots of people came to the concert.

MAAR: 

There aren't many sweets left.
