Much and Many are used in negative sentences and questions.
Many is used with countable nouns. Example: He doesn’t have many toys.
Much is used with uncountable nouns. Example: I don’t have much time to have lunch.
With the word "times" which means frequently or often, we use many times.  Example: I have been in London many times.

SUBJECT PRONOUNS

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence in place of a person’s or thing’s name or description, particularly after the subject has already been introduced to avoid repetition. Subject pronouns usually come before the main verb.   These are the subject pronouns we use in English: IT (third singular person) is normally used when we refer to an object, thing, animal or idea (not people). When they are plural we use THEY (third plural person). Examples: The puppy is on the couch. It (the puppy) is so cute. / The puppies are on the couch. They (the puppies) are so cute. We use IT also when we talk about the time, weather or temperature. It is five o'clock (= the time is five o'clock) It is cold today. (= the weather is cold today.) It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now

There are four seasons in a year with different kind of weather: spring, summer, autumn/ fall, winter. Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the sun. Winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the sun.          What's your favourite season of the year? Why do you like (season)? What do you usually do in summer time?
