Question

What is difference between the lots of and a lot of?

Answer 1

Lots is slang. "Lot" typically means a bunch of something grouped into one. "a lot" means many of something, but not grouped.

Answer 2

There really is no big difference. It's just different ways to say the same thing.

I would say "a lot of" is more grammatically correct.

Answer 3

Possibly none: it is the same thing to say "I have a lot of money," or I have lots of money."; meaning much or many.

However, 'lot' is also used to mean something like a shipment of a certain product: if a store just received a truckload of rugs, for example, the manager might say "We have just received a lot of new rugs."  In this case, "lot" means the contents of the shipmentr and doesn't necessarily mean "many". It might be a lot of two rugs.

Hope that's  clear!

PS: "Lot"  also means a piece of land!  As in "I just bought a lot on Main Street where I am going to build a house... with lots of rooms."
