'Much'

This is an interesting quantifier in that it is largely used with uncountable nouns.
eg.

  • I didn't use much dye.
  • I used much of the memory.
  • I didn't take much of it.
  • I didn't eat much.
It tends to be used more in general statements like:
Much nonsense has been propagated through superstition.
We have much to be annoyed about.

it is often used  with negative word or question
Peter never had much success in his medical practice.
Do you do much directing these days?
