How many & How muchCuántos(as) y Cuánto(a)

What is the difference between many and much?¿Cuál es la diferencia entre “many” y “much”?

I have no idea.

The most accepted version is to distinguish between countable and non-countable nouns.La versión más aceptada es distinguir entre sustantivos que se pueden contar y aquéllos que no.

I am not totally convinced with such an explanation.No estoy totalmente convencido con tal explicación.
