Much is followed by an uncountable noun (nouns that have no plural forms, e.g. sugar, money, information, water...etc.)

Many is followed by a countable noun (nouns that have plural forms)

Much and many are usually used in negative sentences and in questions.

The pronouns 'many' and 'much' are indefinite pronouns, words that take the place of nouns for unknown or unnamed people, things, or quantities.

The indefinite pronoun many is a plural form which takes a verb for a plural subject.

Example: The shipment of glasses arrived but many arebroken.

The indefinite pronoun much is a singular form which takes a verb for a singular subject.

Example: Much is salvageable from the shipment.

The word 'many' also functions as an adjective.

The word 'much' also functions as an adjective and an adverb.
