A Lot OR Many Help

hi i’m vanessa from speak english with

vanessa calm a lot of students don’t use

this expression naturally let’s talk

about it recently i’ve heard a lot of my

students make a lot of mistakes with

this word what’s the word a lot the word

is a lot but the problem is that they

don’t use the word a lot instead they

say things like many people want to

speak english this sentence is fine

there’s nothing grammatically wrong with

this sentence but it sounds a little bit

rigid or formal many people so instead i

want to encourage you to use the word a

lot a lot of people want to speak

english a lot I’ve heard sentences like

I ate many pieces of pizza today or I

drink many beers with my friends on the

weekend or I study English for many

times let’s change this a little bit

instead of using the word many let’s

simply use the word a lot a lot I ate a

lot of pizza yesterday I drank a lot of

beer with my friends I study English a

lot use the word a lot I’m going to be
