Use of the words "more" and "much"
Hi. Can we use the word "more" with both uncountable and countable nouns? I think we use the word "many" with countable nouns and the word "much" for uncountable nouns.
more happiness/money
more pens and pencils
Can we add the word "much" to that too?
He wants much more money (happiness?).
He wants much more pens and pencils than what he had last time.
