Much/ many

To understand which one to use you have to understand the difference between countable (telbare) and uncountable (ontelbare) nouns (zelfstandige naamwoorden)

Countable nouns (things that can be counted.  They have a singular and plural form): tables, men, chairs, laptop --> many

Uncountable nouns (can't be counted or are never counted): rain, four, happiness, darkness, humor  --> much

Which/what

Which is used when there is a limited choice.

Example: Which colour do you prefer, blue or purple?

What is used when the choice is limitless.

Example: What kind of music do you like?
