Cultural Note
'Muy' is used before adjectives and adverbs: 'muy grande' (very big), 'muy bien' (very well). However, 'mucho' is used before nouns and after verbs: 'mucho dinero' (a lot of money), 'trabajo mucho' (I work a lot). You cannot say 'muy mucho' — this is a common error. For emphasis beyond 'muy,' Spanish uses suffixes: 'grandísimo' (extremely big).
