Asking about countable quantity using "How many?":

To ask about countable quantity (quantity that can be counted: one, two, three, four, etc.),

I use: "How many" + (count noun-plural). eg: How many vegetables are there in the soup?

How many fitting rooms are there in this department store?

Asking about uncountable quantity using "How much?":

To ask about uncountable quantity (quantity that cannot be counted), I use: “How much" + (uncount noun = singular).

eg: How much work is there to do?

How much time is there for revision?

To ask about the price of something (food, clothes, etc.),

I use: "How much" + is/are + singular/plural noun + (?)

Other ways to ask about price There are other forms I can use to ask about price:

"How much is it?" / "How much are they?"

eg: I love this bag. How much is it, please?

(Answer: Well, it's not expensive. It's only 500 dinars.) I like these sunglasses.

How much are they, please?

(Answer: Well, they're very cheap. They're only 400 dinars.)

("expensive": high price + "cheap": low price) "How much does it cost?"

eg: I like this bag. How much does it cost, please?

(Answer: It costs 500 dinars.) "How much do I owe you?”

eg: At the supermarket Shopper: How much do I owe you, please? Cashier: £250, sir.
