Okay, point taken, although it doesn't seem logical - how can one be many?

One cannot be many, but one [b]more can be too many.

Much applies to uncountable nouns (e.g., How much time does it take to change a light bulb?).

Many applies to countable nouns (e.g., How many light bulbs does it take to illuminate Times Square?).

What's not logical?[/b]

Take it easy on Noodles. English isn't her first language like you and I.

She will never poses the skills you and me have to speak good English.

The one extra one causes it to be too many altogether, but it isn't the one thing in itself that is too many. So in German we would say that there are too many ('zu viele'😉 because it's one too much ('zu viel'😉.

...and it's 'possess' but you knew that already. I like that.

Nordly's was correct in one word missing. The word was 'to'!

Time is both countable and uncountable...... as many nouns are in the English language.

I had a good time! (counted..... once, by the definite article 'a' = 1!)

Take your own time to help me on this one Andy? (uncountable!) - no article used.

Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time keeps flowing like a river
To the sea..

Does my withdrawal from whales membership mean I can't come to the BBQ?
