Not Bad!!!!!!!
Very well written Serg! Just two small errors are noticable.
"The man has two black cars and one red car. The woman has about a one hundred fifty books in her bookcase. The girl has fourteen coins. The boy has two hundred musical discs. How much many apples did you have? I had five apples."
Use of many/much:
The subject is countable and noncountable nouns.
Countable nouns are those which identify something that can be made plural with the addition of "s". Examples of count nouns are: coin/coins, apple/apples.
Noncountable nouns are those that designate something which cannot become divisible. Examples of noncount nouns are: happiness, money, and including most abstract nouns such as: duty, honor, etc.
Countable nouns can be preceded by "many" or "fewer". Noncountable nouns can be preceded by "much" or "less".
Finally, i would disagree with previous reviews advising the use of "have" in the last sentence. The question asked indicated past tense and therefore, "had" is the correct word.
I have overlooked something in my comments which Tory had already covered. you could say,
"The woman has about one hundred fifty books ..." or "The woman has a hundred and fifty books..." and either would be correct.
... 2 black cars and RED ONE.
... How MANY apples did you have?
GOOD ... VERY GOOD
The man has two black cars and a red one. The woman has about a one hundred fifty books in her bookcase. The girl has fourteen coins. The boy has two hundred musical discs. How much apples did you have? I had five apples.
In US usage, there's no such thing as a "musical disc". Either use "records" or "compact discs" or "CDs".
How many apples did you have?
