Countable vs Uncountable
Countable nouns have singular and plural forms (an apple -> two apples). Uncountable nouns cannot be counted directly (milk, bread, water, rice, sugar) and have no plural form.
I have three oranges. / We need some water.
2
Some vs Any
Use 'SOME' in affirmative sentences and polite requests. Use 'ANY' in negative sentences and general questions.
We have some cheese. / We don't have any eggs. / Do you have any milk?

How Much vs How Many
Use 'HOW MUCH' for uncountable nouns (quantity / price). Use 'HOW MANY' for plural countable nouns.
How much sugar do you want? / How many tomatoes do we need?
