A mí me gusta la clase de arte, porque me gusta mucho dibujar.
Muchos/muchas
Tengo muchas clases hoy.Hay muchos estudiantes en la clase de español.
Me gusta mucho comer.Make sure the ending matches. “Many” is a quantity, not a description, so it stays in front of the noun.
In this case there is no noun to match it to, so do not change the ending of “mucho”.
La clase = muchas clasesel estudiante= muchos estudiantes
