  • Quantifying Expressions

A lot of / Lots of: 

We use a lot of and lots of in informal styles. Lots of is more informal than a lot of. A lot of and lots of can both be used with plural countable nouns and with singular uncountable nouns for affirmatives, negatives, and questions:

  • We’ve got lots of things to do.
  • That’s a lot of money.
  • There weren’t a lot of choices.
  • Can you hurry up? I don’t have a lot of time.
  • Are there a lot of good players at your tennis club?
  • Have you eaten lots of chocolate?
