lot的基本意思是“許多,大量”,在肯定句中常用于a lot of或lots of結(jié)構(gòu),可修飾可數(shù)名詞,也可修飾不可數(shù)名詞。其含意與many或much相同。當(dāng)它們?cè)诰渲信c其他詞一起作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)與其所修飾的名詞或代詞在數(shù)上保持一致。

lot作“簽,抽簽”解時(shí),常與介詞by連用。

用作可數(shù)名詞時(shí)表示“一批,某一類的人”,有單復(fù)數(shù)形式。

a lot不可作狀語(yǔ),修飾動(dòng)詞,表示數(shù)量上的“多”或“經(jīng)常”。a lot和lots可用來(lái)修飾形容詞或副詞的比較級(jí),表示程度。
