@kyraann27 thank you so much :) but what about its usage? Which part of speeches we can use it ? I am really confused :(
- English (US)
@minion6: you can use it to describe how much of something there is. If there is something coming in the mail, it could be described as a "lot" because there will be a "lot" of things coming at once.

@kyraann27 Okay, but still it's not clear for me. Yeah it shows amount of something but which part of speeches "a lot" is used. I mean with noun, adjective or adverb etc...?
I'm really sorry for disturbing you :(

@minion6: you are fine! It has just always been in my everyday vocabulary, so it is hard to explain.

@kyraann27 Yes, it's really hard to teach or to explain something. Especially grammar subtleties in your mother tongue.
Thank you so much :)
