Hello, Mr. Brown.
"a lot of time"
What do you say to place an emphasis on "a lot"?
an awful lot of...
an enormous lot of...
a whole lot of...
What else?
Thank you,
Mimi |
In my opinion, all of the above are acceptable in informal speech except "an enormous lot of....". "An enormous amount of... "would be better, as would "A great deal of"
