Grammar questions
Hello R S
If you have questions about learning English, or specific grammar points, take a look at our learner site here:
https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/
You will find lots of resources for improving your English here. This section will help you with the question about 'much' and 'many':
https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/category/grammar/grammar-much-many-lot-little-few
But, as 'people' is a countable noun we would say "many more people"
Hope that helps,

Hello!
I'm sorry, my question isn't related to the given topic but I don't know where I can ask for the explanation. My question is if we use many more with countable nouns and much more uncountable noun when we want to emphasise an even bigger number or amount of something. For example, do we say "many more people or much more people"? If you can't answer my question here, could you please send me a link where I can ask this question?
