Using Lots of
In spoken English we often use lots of or a lot of. In written English, it is more common to write many (for countable plural nouns) or a great deal of (for uncountable nouns) in positive statements.
A common mistake is to use lot of. For example, "There are lot of accidents on this road". To avoid making this mistake, remember either to use a before lot, or to make lot plural – lots.
We can say either a lot of or lots of before a noun. For example, "There are a lot of people here" or "There are lots of people here". There isn't any difference between the two expressions.
We can also use a lot as an adverb to say how much you do something. For example, "She talks a lot".
A lot is also used in short answers. For example, "Do you like swimming?", "Yes, a lot."
The explanation is short and sweet.
I want to ask if using a lot of for ( countable nouns) i ate a lot of apples and using a lot of for ( uncountable nouns) i have lots of sugar in the packetYou can use both "a lot of" and "lots of" for both countable and uncountable nouns.
reply for ashy's message :Yes, you can. I think "a lot of " and "lots of " are Jolly Jokers. When you cannot decide if a noun is countable or not, then just use lots of . :)
Thanks, alot.<<another use for short answer
thanks a lot :)
