Mucho vs Más - "A lot" vs "More" in Spanish

When we need "more" or "a lot" of something, we'll need to choose between mucho vs más in Spanish.
In addition, we can use "mucho" in two different ways: to say that we do something "a lot" or that we have "a lot" of something. And, we can use "más" in two different ways: to say that we need "more" of something or that something or someone is taller, faster or stronger etc.
In this video, you'll learn:
- All about the Spanish words mucho and más
- The two ways we can use mucho
- The two ways we can use mas
- How to think about the choice of mucho vs más

How did you find this lesson? Was this easy or difficult? Have you struggled with either of these two words before?

[@Grand_Mastiff]

Not so much as to Lo, Le and La, still have problems with them. I will watch your clip about it.

[@terredee]

Found it (and so glad I did) via a Google search for “difference between más and mucho”. Excellent content, thank you! So well spoken and enhanced with real-world examples. My niece and I are both practicing Spanish on Duolingo, and I’ll share a link to your excellent channel with her.

[@chloeemmawilson1498]

Loved this one… thanks for the example of when you can use both together! Mind blown ha mucho gracias

[@emcquesten]

[@realfastspanish]

[@CleonaPattersoneFluentEnglish]

Hola Andrew, siempre nos ofreces información muy útil. Gracias.👍Me gustan muchísimo estos vídeos y quiero más.😜 Ahora puedo hablar español más corectamente por tu enseñanza porque un vídeo tuyo de tres minutos es mucho más eficaz que uno de treinta.

[@realfastspanish]

¡Gracias Cleona! 😊

[@LLOYDMOSS]

Great episode! When you use mucho and muy together, do you still change the gender and person (singular or plural) of mucho to match that of the object? The examples provided did not make that clear. Thanks! Your videos have been incredibly useful.

[@Shanetheskeptic]

Hola Andrew! I am learning Spanish through many methods, and your videos have been incredibly helpful to my learning process. Soon I'll be making a vlog about learning Spanish and recommending a few channels I have found to be incredibly helpful in my learning process, starting with this channel. Just wanted to say thanks for the content you produce, and also throw a video request your way for the 3 min series. One thing I find myself unsure about is when to use Te, Ti, or Tu in a sentence i.e which word belongs in which scenario, and I think you would be able to give a great explanation on how to know when each of these words for "you" is needed. Good luck on your content moving forward!

[@tomthekhmerbreed9166]

Have you published any Spanish grammar or vocabulary book?

[@realfastspanish]

Thanks for the suggestion Shane! 🙏

[@hollyxie4059]

Shane, please let me know what you start your channel. I am the same way watch different videos.

[@johnscotto2434]

that little lesson was very helpful to me.

[@realfastspanish]

Thanks John, I'm glad to hear that!! 😊

[@julianmelamed1611]

Disfruté mucho este video

¡Me alegro! 😀

[@charlessimons1692]

Esta fue un gran lección!

[@realfastspanish]

¡Gracias Charles! 🙏

[@alejandrojoselizano]

Una gran lección, "lección" es feminine

[@charlessimons1692]

@@alejandrojoselizano Por supuesto! Gracias Alejandro.

[@BailBonds510bailbond]

Tanto información en 3 minutos bien hecho.

[@realfastspanish]

¡Gracias Bail! 🙏

[@benoitmaisonneuve8100]

Hi great lessons by the way ! But why say ,, mas alto que yo instead of mas alto que mi ?

[@unknownquantity4440]

Dang. I'm close to getting the phrases correct, but off a bit here and there. How do I improve this?

[@realfastspanish]

Keep practicing and focusing on these important sentences! 😊

[@mea5720]

I appreciated very much the examples of both words, but I don't really see this as a this vs that lesson. I feel like the use of más and mucho is pretty clear.

[@realfastspanish]

Thanks Michael, I understand where you are coming from. We actually got a couple of questions from students asking for this topic and usually when we hear a question from a few different students I assume that it's a topic that lots of students want to hear about.

[@adamspa8]

Gracias por el video. Para los otros estudiantes como yo, también podemos decir "más de" cuando hablamos sobre las cantidades/los números. Por ejemplo: "Esta camisa cuesta más de ochenta dólares! Es mucho más cara que la otra!"

[@realfastspanish]

¡Muy bien Paul! 😊 Gracias por compartirlo.

[@LanguishedBeing]

I have a thought, what if you made "learning English" videos for Spanish people.?

[@Grand_Mastiff]

Is it totally wrong to say Estamos más ocupados este mes que el mes pasado ?

[@tetellefridrich5195]

Pero: mucho y muy = “very”. Dime cómo, por favor.

[@alejandrojoselizano]

"Muy" means a lot, but it depends on the context of the sentence

[@alejandrojoselizano]

it also means very. Él es muy rápido = He is very fast

[@realfastspanish]

Yes, without context, "mucho" means "a lot" and "muy" means "very".

[@bruceingram4715]

Good information, but I find the repetition of every phrase to be unnecessary and kind of annoying.

[@realfastspanish]

Thanks for the feedback Bruce. Maybe repetition on my part is not necessary but students definitely need to repeat it. “Repetition is the mother of all skill.” It is incredibly important if you want to be successful with language learning.

[@realfastspanish]

I’m sad to see you go Jeff!

[@hollyxie4059]

I like the repetition. So, I can learn it. You probably knows a lot more than I do.

[@hollyxie4059]

@Jeff C different people have different ways to learn. I like to hear it more times.
