HOW MUCH, HOW MANY, A FEW, A LITTLE.

1.- When do we use much and when many? 

• much: uncountable nouns (milk, water, money, time etc.)

• many: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes, etc.)
  
  Examples:
  
  
• How much money have you got?
• How many dollars have you got?

In informal English these questions are often answered with a lot of, lots of. There is no much difference between the two phrases.

2.- When do we use a little and when a few?

•  a little: non countable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.) 
• a few: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)

Examples:

• He has a little money left.
• He has a few dollars left.

3.- When do we use some and when any?

We use some and any for an amount which is not known e.g. Have you got any crisps?

Use of some and any.

• some: affirmative statements, offers, requests and in questions when you expect the answer ›yes‹
• any: negative statements, questions

Have you got any bananas? No, we haven't got any. But we've got some oranges.

Exceptions:

I would like to buy fruit at a market. I see the man has wonderful apples so I can ask him:

• Can I have some of these apples?

If I do not see apples or if I am not sure whether there are apples at all I use any in this question.

• Have you got any apples?
