Amounts and prices are useful things to ask about.
The idea
Use how much before an uncountable noun to ask about quantity. For price, use How much is or How much does ... cost?
Examples
- How much milk is in the jug?
- How much time do we have?
- How much flour do you need?
- How much is this jacket?
- How much does the ticket cost?
- How much water is left?
