The subject of a sentence is the one that does the verb. If the subject is singular, we add an ‘s’ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense. If the subject is plural, we do not add an ‘s’ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense.

This is a complete lesson (PowerPoint Presentation) teaching the difference between when to use the quantifiers ‘much’, ‘many’ and ‘lots of’/ ‘a lot of’. The PowerPoint also covers the difference between countable and uncountable nouns.
We use ‘much’ and ‘many’ to ask questions (e.g. How many apples is there? How much milk is there? and to make negative statements (e.g. There aren’t many apples. There isn’t much milk.) whereas we use ‘lots of’ or ‘a lot of’ to make positive statements (e.g. There are lots of apples. There is lots of milk.).
We use ‘much’ to ask questions and make negative statements about uncountable nouns. We use ‘many’ to ask questions and make negative statements about countable nouns.
We use ‘lots of’ or ‘a lot of’ to make positive statements about both countable and uncountable nouns.
Countable nouns are nouns that we make plural and that we can count where as uncountable nouns are nouns that we don’t make plural and which we measure instead of count.
