english grammar quantifiers a lot

In this English lesson you will learn how we use English grammar quantifiers a lot, lots, plenty and a great deal in English.

These are used in a similar  way to much and many. 

A lot, lots and plenty are used more informally. For example:

There are a lot of people waiting for the bus. We might be here for a while.

I don’t have a lot of time so hurry up, please.

Jim has lots of money in the bank.

Plenty is informal

Examples:

You have had plenty of time to pack my suitcase so why isn’t it ready?

I have had plenty to eat today, so I am not hungry now.

Great deal/large amount of (formal)

A great deal is more formal.

For example:

I had a great deal of things to do today. 

Bill said he had a great deal of work today and that’s why he arrived late.

A large amount of people lost their jobs during the recession.

So that’s how we use the English grammar quantifiers a lot, lots, plenty, a great deal.
