Tuesday Quick Tip: What's the Difference-- Very vs. A lot of
Good morning, dear students!
So what's the difference between ''very'' and ''a lot of''?
Check it out:
''Very'' modifies adjectives and adverbs. It works the same way as ''muy''.
We can say that Chileans are friendly people, but if I want to emphasize the adjective and make it stronger, I would say that Chileans are very friendly people.
''A lot of'' should be used to talk about a big quantity of a noun.
Chile has a lot of copper; South America has a lot of countries; I have a lot of students.
