另外,a lot of 后面直接跟可数名词时,这个名词应用复数。如:
He has read a lot of books. 他读了许多书。
但 a lot of the 后面跟可数名词时,根据意义的需要,这个名词可以是单数也可以是复数。如:
He has read a lot of the book. 这本书他已读了一大半。
He has read a lot of the books. 这些书他已读了一大半。
一般是说 a lot of people,但是可以说 a lot of the people 吗?类似的如:

a lot of trees / a lot of the trees
a lot of families / a lot of the families
a lot of money / a lot of the money
a lot of time / a lot of the time
