Soru:
Write a question for the following answer using "How much" or "How many":
Answer: "I need three apples for the pie."
Çözüm:
💡 The key is to determine whether the noun in the answer (apples) is countable or uncountable to choose between "How much" and "How many".
- ➡️ Step 1: Look at the noun in the answer. The noun is apples.
- ➡️ Step 2: Determine if the noun is countable or uncountable. You can count apples (one apple, two apples...), so apples is a countable noun.
- ➡️ Step 3: Apply the rule:
- Use "How many" for countable nouns (e.g., apples, books, chairs).
- Use "How much" for uncountable nouns (e.g., water, sugar, money).
- ➡️ Step 4: Form the question. Since "apples" is countable, the question must start with "How many". The rest of the question should logically lead to the given answer.
✅ The correct question is: "How many apples do you need for the pie?"
