There is a lot of food/money/water … (singular verb)

Ko’p ovqat/pul/suv … bor (birlik fe’l)

• Agar gapda a lot of bilan sanaladigan ot kelsa, fe’lning ko’plik shakli qo’llaniladi:

Ko’pgina daraxtlar/do’konlar/odamlar … bor  (ko’plik fe’l)

Biz much ni inkor va so’roq gaplarda ishlatamiz:

• Ammo, biz ijobiy(darak) gaplarda much dan kamdan-kam foydalanamiz.

Men ko’p qahva ichaman. (I drink much coffee emas)

‘Do you drink much coffee?’     ‘Yes, a lot.’   (not Yes, much)

‘Ko’p qahva ichasanmi?’  ‘Ha, ko’p.’ (Yes, much emas)

Biz many va a lot of dan barcha turdagi gaplarda foydalanamiz (positive/negative/question):

Bizda ko’pgina do’stlar bor / ko’pgina do’stlar.

Bizda ko’pgina do’stlar yo’q / ko’pgina do’stlar.
