Usage of lot: He has done a lot of hard work. vs He has done a lot of hard works. #1 (permalink) Tue Jun 23, 2009 18:24 pm   Usage of lot: He has done a lot of hard work. vs He has done a lot of hard works.		  
Hi,
1. He has done a lot of hard work.
2. He has done a lot of hard works.
3. Have some more cake. There’s lots left.
Please confirm whether sentences 1 and 2 are correct.
In sentence-3, should the phrase - "Ther's" be
pronounced as "There is" or "There has" ?
Kindly please guide me.
Thanks,
Er.S.M.M.Hanifa

Dad, would you really say, "There are lots of cake left"? I don't think so.

"A lot of" and "lots of" are quantifiers that are transparent to person and number.

"There is one person here."
"There are four people here."
"There are a lot of people here."

"There is cake here."
"There is a lot of cake here."
"There is lots of cake here."
"There are a lot of cakes here."
"There are lots of cakes here."

"A number of" is also transparent in that way:

"There were a number of problems with the project."
It is wrong to say, "There was a number of problems with the project."
