1. 肯定句特别是口语中，通常用a lot of和lots (of)而不是much (of)和many (of)，然而有以下例外

   a) 正式或学术报告中，much (of)和many (of)更常用，同样常见的还有a large/considerable/substantial amount of（不可数名词）或a large/considerable/great/substantial number of （可数名词），例句如下：

   Much debate has been heard about Thornton"s new book.

   There could be many explanations for this.

   Much of her fiction describes women in unhappy marriages.

   A large amount of the food was inedible. （或Much of...）

   The book contains a large number of pictures, many in colour. （或...many...）

   Far too much time is wasted filling in forms. （不是Much/Many too much time...）

6. 通常是plenty of+不可数或复数名词而不是a lot of或lots of，但是要注意plenty of是足够，或者超过需求量的意思，所以需要根据语境判断是否适合使用，例如：

   We took lots of/plenty of food and drink on our walk through the hills. （正确）
