The rule states that we use «many» with countable nouns. Countable nouns are those that can be counted, such as carrots, apples, or books. In the example given, the question is «How many carrots have we got?» because carrots are countable. The answer is «Not many» because the quantity of carrots is low.
On the other hand, we use «much» with uncountable nouns. Uncountable nouns are those that cannot be counted, such as rice, water, or sugar. In the example given, the question is «How much rice have we got?» because rice is uncountable. The answer is «Not much» because the quantity of rice is low.
It is important to use the correct word (many or much) with the appropriate type of noun (countable or uncountable) to ensure clear communication. Using the wrong word can lead to confusion or misunderstandings.
