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.
