Use 'amount' when referring to things you can measure but not easily count, like rice or water.

Measurement Context

'Amount' isn't used for individual items or people; use 'number' instead.

Not for Individuals

Use 'amount to' to express the total result of adding different things together.

Cumulative Aspect

'Amount to' can be used metaphorically to assess the value or impact of something.

Figurative Use

Use 'amount' to comment on how severe or extensive a situation is.

Severity or Scale

'Amount of' can also reflect emotional investment or seriousness, not just physical quantity.

Emotional Importance

Use 'amount of' with abstract concepts to quantify things like time, effort, or interest.

Abstract Concepts

'Amount of' is correctly used with non-countable nouns, such as 'information' or 'advice'.

Non-Countable Nouns
