@emerfran12354 Stuff can be things and things can be stuff, but stuff is uncountable, whereas things are countable. If you have so many things that you can't count them all, and you have to stuff them all into cupboards and boxes, you probably have too much stuff.

@emerfran12354
Which part you mean?
You are right. Wherease can be used instead of "while" depends on situation.
Examples:
Taxes make up 62% of the price of a litre of petrol in France, whereas in Britain, the tax is 75%.
Some people visit their doctor once every few weeks, while others may not visit a doctor for several years.
Whereas in most of the world they drive on the right, in the UK and Japan they drive on the left.
