"of" usage with much and many

When we use much and many with "of", we must use  (the, my, your, these, those) before the noun to be used.


Many people        =    Many of the people
Many countries    =    Many of these countries   (many of these / those , much of this / that)
Much sugar        =    Much of the sugar
Many books        =    Many of your books


but we can use direct with pronouns such as you, us, it.

Many of us        Many of you        Much of it
