    • Many is used only with countable nouns. It is used mainly in questions and negative sentences:
      • Do you go to many concerts?
      • How many people came to the meeting?
      • I don’t go to many concerts.
      Although it is not common in statements, it is used after so, as and too:
      • You made too many mistakes.
    • In statements a lot (of) or lots (of) (informal) are much more common:
      • I go to a lot of concerts.
      • ‘How many shows did you see?’ ‘Lots!’
      However, they are not used with measurements of time or distance:
      • I stayed in England for many/​quite a few/​ten weeks.
      • I stayed in England a lot of weeks.
      When a lot (of)/lots (of) means ‘many’, it takes a plural verb:
      • Lots of people like Italian food.
      You can also use plenty of (informal):
      • Plenty of stores stay open late.
      These phrases can also be used in questions and negative sentences.
    • A lot of/​lots of is still felt to be informal, especially in British English, so in formal writing it is better to use many or a large number of in statements.
