Difference between much and very?

PREM said:   1 decade ago
Much refers "quantity" and very refers "precisely so".

Pleased refers feelings and it can't be measured.

Tejaswi said:   1 decade ago
As pleasing means it's a kind request. Then what is the difference between pleased and very pleased.

Much express quantity.
Many express number.

Less denotes quantity in small degree.
Fewer denotes number.

To know "how" you topped the list.

VARSHA CHAUHAN said:   9 years ago
'very' is used in present continuous & in positive degree and 'much' is used in past indefinite & in comparative terms, and so A OPTION is correct, but option C IS WRONG.

Varsha chauhan said:   9 years ago
It should be "that you had topped the list".

Gayatri said:   8 years ago
Can we use MUCH & VERY at a time? Like, I am very much impressed by your actions. Is this sentence correct?

Anees Rehman said:   8 years ago
It is correct, but when you use both then the verb must be in 3rd form like impressed.

Mayank said:   7 years ago
Much is used with past participle. Hence D should be the answer.
