We use how many and how much to ask about quantity. As money is uncountable, we use how much.

Countable and uncountable

In English, nouns split into two groups based on whether you can count them. Countable nouns (chair, book, idea) take a/an, form plurals (chairs), and pair with many, few, several. Uncountable nouns (water, furniture, advice, information) take no article in their general sense, have no plural, and pair with much, little, some.

This distinction matters because it controls article choice, plural marking, verb agreement, and quantifier selection — fewer chairs vs less water, an advice (wrong) vs some advice. It's one of the most common error sources for learners from languages without this split.

Questions

Questions in English are typically formed by inverting the subject and an auxiliary verb: She can danceCan she dance?. When there's no auxiliary present, English adds do-support: The milk goes in the fridgeDoes the milk go in the fridge?. The same pattern handles wh-questions (Where do you live?) and negative questions (Doesn't he know?).

The trickiest variant is indirect questionsI wonder where he is, not where is he. The inversion drops because the question is embedded inside another clause. Getting this right is one of the bigger jumps from A2 to B1 fluency.

A1 | Elementary | Beginners

A1 is the starting level of the CEFR framework — the entry point into English. At A1 you can introduce yourself, ask and answer simple personal questions, recognise common signs and instructions, and have short slow-paced conversations on very familiar topics.

Grammatically, A1 covers the building blocks: present-tense forms of be, have, and do; basic word order; simple questions; and the most common determiners, pronouns, and prepositions. Knowing your level matters — A1 material teaches the foundations every later level builds on, while a B1 textbook will overwhelm you. Start here and progress is fast.

Difficulty: Easy

The Easy difficulty tag marks questions and challenges aimed at beginners — typically A1 or early A2 level. Expect single-rule focus, short sentences, common everyday vocabulary, and one clear correct answer. Distractors usually rule themselves out quickly.

Filter by Easy when you're rebuilding fundamentals, warming up before harder material, or testing whether you've truly internalised a basic rule before moving on. Easy doesn't mean trivial — it means the rule itself is unambiguous and the context doesn't pile on extra complications.
