'plenty of' vs 'many' vs 'a lot of' #1 (permalink) Mon Jul 02, 2007 4:53 am   'plenty of' vs 'many' vs 'a lot of'
 

She has plenty of / many / a lot of/much fruits.

Which one could be appropriate in my sentence? and what would be the difference in meaning?

Please help me.

.
'Fruit' is normally used uncountably (Fruit is delicious), but the plural countable 'fruits' occasionally occurs when speaking of different types (Cuba grows the following fruits: mangos, papayas and bananas).

Since you have elected to use the countable plural, you can use these:

She has plenty of / many / a lot of/ fruits.

Their meanings are the same.
