Having too much expectations or having too high expectations [closed]

What is the difference, can both be used and which one is proper ?


Solution 1:

'Much/many' is an adjective expressing quantity or amount. Many of this sort of adjective have plural forms which must be used when the noun is plural. Another example of a quantative adjective would be 'few' and 'a little'.

'Expectations' is a plural noun so the plural form 'many' must be used.

'High' is an ordinary adjective, nothing special about it! In English, adjectives do not normally agree with noun number: we talk about 'high expectations', plural, or 'high expectation', singular. Using a modifier of an adjective,such as 'too' or 'very', does not affect the adjective. So, 'too high an expectation' is correct, and 'too high expectations' is also correct. I hope that helps!
