WORD OF THE DAY:

trample - to tread heavily, roughly, or crushingly (usually followed
by on, upon, or over)

The bed of roses were trampled upon by the children.

WRONG TO CORRECT:

WRONG: They have as much children as us.

CORRECT: They have as many children as us.

GRAMMAR: "as many as / as few as", it is used with countable nouns.
And "as much as / as little as" it is used with uncountable nouns.
