Count things around you and ask about their number.
The idea
Use How many with a plural countable noun, as in How many cups? Use one with a singular noun and larger numbers with plural nouns.
Examples
- There are three cups on the table.
- I have two green pencils.
- How many apples do we need?
- One bag is under the chair.
- They have five small boxes.
- We need four plates for dinner.
