The Ss do this as I will be playing its audio in T B.

Go through the park and down the hill.

Walk along Wallace Road for about 50 metres.

Come out of the coffee shop and turn right. When you see the traffic lights, the gym is on the corner.

Take the second turning on the right, where you will see a sign saying “University”.

Go across the road, turn left, and walk along Parkridge Avenue for 100 metres.

1) I hate driving in the city centre, there is always a lot of traffic.

Why? “Traffic” is an uncountable noun, so we cannot use many.

Much is grammatically correct, but it sounds unnatural in a positive statement. In everyday English, we usually say a lot of traffic.

2) There aren’t many good restaurants in my town any more.

Why? “Restaurants” is countable plural, so we need many.

Much is for uncountable nouns, so it doesn’t fit.

A few means “some, but not many,” and the sentence is negative, so many is the natural choice.

3) I’m so bored, there isn’t much on TV tonight.

Why? Here “much” means “a large amount,” and TV is considered uncountable in this context.

Many is for plural countable nouns, which doesn’t fit.

Some would make it positive, but the sentence is negative.

4) Did we have a lot of homework today?

Why? “Homework” is an uncountable noun.

Much homework is possible, especially in formal English, but in questions, a lot of is more natural in everyday speech.

Many doesn’t fit because homework is uncountable.

5) My friends brought a lot of chocolate back from Switzerland for us to try.

Why? “Chocolate” is usually uncountable when talking about it in general.

Much chocolate is possible, but usually used in negatives or questions (e.g., I don’t eat much chocolate).

A lot of is natural and correct in a positive statement.
