Many and much are not often used in affirmative sentences.
They usually come with too e.g. too many things in affirmative sentences.
Many and much are mainly used in negative sentences and questions.
Instead of many or much, a lot of is commonly used in affirmative sentences .
So... Instead of saying "I have many friends," we say "I have a lot of friends".
Interesting, isn't it?
So, from now on, say "I have a lot of things to do", not "I have many things to do".
