"In this book are many exercises" isn't accepted, how come? W tej książce jest dużo ćwieczeń
I read that "lots of" and "lot of" are synonyms, but it doesn't accept lots of when I write it
As an example, in this wecould say, pelthora, a lot, many uses formtjhe same words tend to confuse in foreign languages. That's why we fight wars, we don't understand each others.
W tej książce jest mnóstwo ćwiczeń -
There is a plethora of exercises in this book
It's hard for me to say, because I don't know where it would be used in English. I asked our British contributors and for a longer moment they couldn't find a context in which it would be used, finally one of them came up with: [...] 'ideas for things that you can do in real life with children: projects, games, science experiments etc' but not things you do in the book, like you do with exercises.
I don't know what I would call these, but probably not "ćwiczenia".
jest dużo - there are many/a lot of/ lots of
jest jeden/ jest jedna/jedno - there is one
My version "There are a lot of exercises in this book." was not accepted. Cannot understand why.
Despite the definitely plural meaning, any phrase with a quantifier like "dużo" is grammatically singular, so it needs the 3rd person singular form "jest".
Similarly in English, even if technically it isn't grammatically correct, still a lot of people would say "there is a lot of exercises".
