as much/many ... as ...

We use as much . . . as . . . with a singular (uncountable) noun, and as many ... as . . . with a plural.

  • We need as much time as possible.

  • We need as many cars as possible.


As much/many can be used without a following noun.

  • I ate as much as I wanted.

  • Rest as much as possible.

  • 'Can I borrow some books?' 'Yes, as many as you like.'
