Si noti che much e many sono preferibilmente usati in frasi negative e interrogative, mentre in frasi affermative sono spesso sostituiti da a lot (of), lots (of) (d'uso colloquiale, davanti a nomi numerabili plurali), plenty (of), a great deal (of): tante persone = a lot of people; guadagno tanto = I earn a lot. - Come avverbio, tanto si usa dopo un verbo, e in tal caso si traduce very much o a lot in frase affermativa e much in frase negativa e interrogativa (spero tanto che... = I hope very much that...; ho studiato tanto = I studied a lot; non bevo mai tanto = I never drink much; ha bevuto tanto? = did he drink much?); quando precede un altro avverbio o un aggettivo, si traduce con so o such (è tanto veloce che... = he is so fast that...; è una studentessa tanto intelligente! = she's such an intelligent student!), ma se tale avverbio o aggettivo è al comparativo, tanto si rende con much ( tanto più presto = much sooner; tanto più veloce = much faster). - Per gli altri usi di tanto e gli esempi relativi, si veda la voce qui sotto
