在肯定句中，用 so much 而不用 very much 来强调某个东西的数量很大，可以意为”那么多，如此多“，例如：
He has so much money!
他有那么多钱！
解析：此句不能改成 He has very much money!
使用 as much + 不可数名词 + as | as much as 作数量的对比，例如：
ry and find out as much information as you can.
尽可能多地找出信息。
too much 意为“太多的，不必要的”，修饰不可数名词，例如：
I bought too much food. We had to throw some of it away.
我买了太多的食物。我们不得不扔掉一些。
