much修饰形容词原级的情形主要见于那些由过去分词转化来的形容词。
如:

6、修饰动词:
much修饰动词时,通常只用于否定句或疑问句中,一般不能用于肯定句中(除非前面有 very, too, so 等之类的修饰语)。
如:
正:She doesn’t like him much. (用于否定句,故正确)
正:She doesn’t much like him. (用于否定句,故正确)
正:Does she like him much? (用于疑问句,故正确)
正:Does she much like him? (用于疑问句,故正确)
正:She likes him very [too, so] much. (其前有修饰语,故正确)
误:She likes him much. / She much likes him. (因为它用于肯定句,且其前没有修饰语,故不正确)
7、修饰as:
much as 可视为习语,其意为“虽然”,用法与though相似。
如:
Much as I’d like to help, there isn’t a lot I can do.
尽管我愿意帮忙,却没有很多事我能做。

虽说他很欣赏她的外貌和仪态,他却无心和她结婚。
8、修饰the same:
much 修饰the same,从表面上是加强了the same的语气,但实际上是缓和了其语气,其意为“情况大致相同”“几乎差不多”“没什么变化”。如:
The patient is much the same this morning.
今天早上病人情况几乎没什么变化。
Whichever method you use, the result is much the same.
不论你用哪一种方法,结果都差不多。

much修饰不可数名词复数,如:I have much money.
2、many作代词代表可数名词,如:Many of the students have great results.
much作代词代表不可数名词,如:Much of the air is fresh.
3、much还可以修饰动词,many不行。
如:I love you so much.
4、much还可以修饰比较级,many也不行。
如:It’s much colder today than it was yesterday.
