How much / How many

There are in English two different compound question that we use to ask a question about countable and uncountable nouns depending on the case that we are referring to, they are how much and how many which are going to be used as it follows:

How much= Cuanto, cuanta (uncountable)

How many=Cuantos,Cuantas (Countable nouns)

How much… is there?

How many… are there?

As we can see when we have to use how Much, then we will have to apply the way “is there” due to the fact that we are referring to an uncountable noun: but when we are structuring how Many we will use “are there” due to it is a countable noun.
