How many dirty plates can one person leave in the sink? I have a lot of homework to do tonight, so I can't clean up your mess. Also, please buy groceries because we don't have much milk left.
How many dirty plates can one person leave in the sink?
We use "many" with plural countable nouns (plates), especially in questions.
I have a lot of homework to do tonight...
We use "a lot of" in affirmative sentences for uncountable nouns (homework). "Many" and "a few" are only for countable nouns!
...because we don't have much milk left.
We use "much" with uncountable nouns (milk), usually in negative sentences and questions. "A lot" is missing the word "of" here!
