1. When do we use much and when many?

  • much: uncountable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.)
  • many: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)
Examples:
  • How much money have you got?
  • How many dollars have you got?
2. When do we use a little/little and when a few/few?
  • a little: non countable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.)
  • a few: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)
Examples:
  • He has a little money left.
  • He has a few dollars left.
We use few and little without the article a to point out a more negative meaning.
Examples:
  • A few students of our school know this. (There are some student who know it.)
  • Few students know this. (It is almost unknown.)
