    • Much is used only with uncountable nouns. It is used mainly in questions and negative sentences:
      • Do you have much free time?
      • How much experience have you had?
      • I don’t have much free time.
    • In statements a lot of or lots of (informal) is much more common:
      • How much (money) does she earn?
      • She earns a lot of money.
      You can also use plenty (of). 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 much, a great deal of or a large amount of.

      • I miss my family very much.
      • I miss very much my family.
      • I miss my family a lot.

      In negative sentences you can use much:
      • I didn’t enjoy the film (very) much.
