Lot

LOT/lɒt/

A large amount: a lot of / lots of + noun. There are a lot of students here. Alot as one word is not English. Many likes countable plurals; much likes uncountables — a lot of works with both.

Meaning

A large amount (a lot of / lots of).

Examples

  • “There are a lot of students here.”
  • “I drank a lot of water.”
  • “She has lots of friends at school.”

Good to know

a lot of / lots of + noun. Not “alot.” Works with both count types.
