how much与how many的区别在于:how many 后接可数名词复数形式,而how much 后接不可数名词。例如:
-How many people are there in your family?你家有几口人?
-There are five.五口人。
-How many birds can you see in the picture?图画中你能看见多少只鸟?
-Only one.仅看见一只鸟。
how much 是一个常见的特殊疑问词组,它的意思为“多少”,表示数量,其后面接不可数名词,也可单独使用,它在初中课本里的用法主要有:
1、用来询问事物的数量,后接不可数名词。例如:

(3)在买卖过程中,买方觉得太贵不买,常用That's much too dear.作答。如果觉得比较合适,常用That's (very,quite cheap.
在提问加减乘除得数时,如用how much,谓语动词多用单数形式;如用how many,谓语动词多用复数形式。eg:
How much is eight divided by two?
How many are two times five?”

加法:what is A and B?或what is A plus B?
减法:what is A minus B?
乘法:what is A by B?
除法:what is A divided by B?
