Questions & Answers about Tenho muito sono.
Why does the Portuguese sentence use "Tenho" (I have) instead of a word for "I am"?
Where is the word for "I" in this sentence?
Why is it muito and not muita?
Because sono is a masculine singular noun. When muito comes before a noun to mean "a lot of" or "much", it has to match that noun's gender and number. It stays as the masculine singular muito to match sono.
If sono means sleep, how would I say "I am very tired"?
