How x How much
Hi, there
Should I use “how” or “how much” in these sentences?
“He was telling us about his father, and how like him he was” or “ He was telling us about his father, and how MUCH like him he was”?
“I forgot how this smell like cherries” or “I forgot how much this smell like cherries”
Thank you very much

it is actually more common for a native speaker to say, "He was telling me that he was just like his father. Or he said, He and his father are a lot alike. You can say: He was telling me how much he was like him too.
“I forgot how this smell like cherries” or “I forgot how much this smell like cherries”
" I forgot how much these ( or this _____) smells like cherries.
Please let me know if you have questions!!! :) Enjoy your day!!!

"How much" is idiomatic. The sentences using "how" are understandable, but not what a native speaker would usually say. "He was telling us about his father and much he was like him" is more usual for native speakers. "I forgot how much this smells like cherries" is good.
