Please indicate if there are any serious mistakes (grammar, expression)
Why do you do so much sports? (I think the `much� is wrong)
Don`t drink anything with caffeine (I feel it should be `that contains
caffeine�)
Please tell me if I am right.

The correct sentence should read "Why do you do so many sports?" You use "much" when the noun/pronoun it is referring to is singular. You use "many" when the noun/pronoun it is referring to is plural. In your example, sports is plural, so you would need to use the word "many."
Both are fine, however saying "that contains" sounds a bit formal. Saying "with caffeine" is going to be more common in informal speech. |
