Help the confused tourist write a text message to their local friend. Drag the right words into the blanks.
Help! There are so many people at this train station, and I am completely lost. I don't have much battery left on my phone to use the map. Luckily, I took a lot of screenshots of the directions earlier, so I hope I can find my way!
There are so many people at this train station...
"People" is a plural countable noun. We use "so many" to emphasize a large number. ("So a lot of" is grammatically incorrect!)
I don't have much battery left on my phone...
"Battery" (in the sense of power) is uncountable here. We use "much" in negative sentences for uncountable nouns.
Luckily, I took a lot of screenshots of the directions earlier...
"Screenshots" is a plural countable noun. In affirmative sentences, "a lot of" is the most natural choice. "Much" and "a little" are only for uncountable nouns.
