MUCH/MANY WITHOUT A NOUN
We can drop the noun after much or many if the meaning is clear:
We don't eat much (= much food)
Do you have books? - Not many (many books)
Have you got many friends?
- Yes, I've got many (= many friends)
also: I've got a lot / I've got lots
Do you drink much tea?
- Yes, very much / a lot / lots
The rules for the use of MUCH and MANY are the same as always:
MUCH for singular nouns, MANY for plurals, both used in negatives and questions.
Many is used in affirmatives (but not often) and MUCH can't (but we can use "very much").
A LOT and LOTS can be used in all situations.
MUCH AS ADVERB
We can use MUCH as an adverb
- I like tea but I don't drink much (= much tea)
- I love you very much (very much explains how I love you, so it is an adverb)
Examples of much as an adverb (to explain the action):
- I don't work much now, I'm trying to relax (how I work)
- I'm much taller than you (how I am)
- I like her very much (how I like her)
- Thank you very much (how I thank you)
As usual, we can also say A LOT:
- I don't work a lot
- I'm a lot taller than you
- I like her a lot
- Thanks a lot
