[b]Hello,

In a quiz thre is a question,

How ------- bread do we have in the kitchen?
much or many.

I chose “many” but it stated as wrong.

I wonder why? Isn’t bread countable. Everyone of course can count the bread.
And shouldn’t we use “many” for the countable things.

Otherwise the “bread” in the given example sure has a different meaning than the ordinary bread?

I’m afraid, you’re in the wrong, “bread” is uncountable.

but you can count these:

  1. A loaf of bread.
  2. A slice of bread.
  3. A bread crumb.
