    USAGE:
    (1.) Существительное a lot в русском языке соответствует как существительному, так и наречию, главным образом в сочетании с глаголом (he knows a lot он много знает) и с последующими прилагательными и наречиями (a lot better много лучше; a lot more много/гораздо больше). (2.) В разговорном языке в утвердительных предложениях употребление оборота a lot of (1.) предпочтительнее и встречается чаще, чем much и many. Оборот a lot of обычно не используется в отрицательных и вопросительных предложениях, в которых употребляются much и many: has he got many books? yes, he has got a lot of books; did you spend much time in the forest? no, not much. (3.) A lot of не употребляется перед словами, обозначающими отрезок времени. В этих случаях употребляется many или much (many days, much time). (4.) В предложении с оборотом с a lot of + существительное глагол согласуется с именем существительным, синтаксически связанным с оборотом a lot of: a lot of people are expected here; a lot of snow has fallen in the last few Days. (5.) Русским "так много, столько" в восклицательных конструкциях соответствуют such a lot, а также so many, so much: Such a lot of energy was wasted! /So much energy was wasted! Столько сил потрачено зря! So many people came to bid theirfarewell! Сколько людей пришло попрощаться с ним
