use of many/ a lot (of) #2 (permalink) Fri Aug 01, 2008 15:49 pm   use of many/ a lot (of)
 

Hi Mdenglish.

All 3 sentences are correct as written.

Is Tingatinga referring to the artist or the style? Either way, your sentences are still correct.

I confess I had to google Tingatinga. You learn something new everyday!
