Much vs. Most

Whenever we use the term 'much' before a noun or any word class that we are allowed to use, we are referring to an unknown amount that is large.

means the largest amount; however, as a determiner or pronoun it can mean the majority.

We are only allowed to use uncountable nouns after much, so, as a result, the noun after it must be singular. Since we use a singular noun the verb of the sentence must be a singular verb.

is used before countable and uncountable nouns. A singular uncountable noun and a plural countable noun can be used after the term 'most'. As a result, a singular verb is used with uncountable nouns and a plural verb is used with plural countable nouns.

To make the most of something means to take full advantage of it. Look at the examples.

Using 'most' alone before nouns means the majority, we mean the largest part in a set of more than one person or thing. 'The most' is used alone or before some adjectives and it makes superlative adjectives.

This idiom means that the pointed amount is being considered the largest amount or number.

Determiners, are used before 'nouns'. Adverbs, are used before 'adjectives' or other 'adverbs'. Pronouns are used alone when it is obvious what we are talking about, and no noun follows them.

Do not use 'most of' and 'much of' before nouns alone. These phrases are used before noun phrases.
