Hi all
I wonder, is it how many time or times that is grammatical?
For example,
"How many time/times do you usually go to cinema in a week?"
I reckon it is 'times' as I feel like that is what more familiar to me, but is there any elaboration to why it is what it is?
Thank you in advance

duh its because "many"
many is countable so we have add a "s" to "time".

Is it also applied the same lets say if I want to say “How many schedules do you have?” And any other ‘how many’ forms that I want to use?

How many times - the number of something you did
how much time == how long
