Be of help

Dear Teachers,

1 - A lot of/lots of people are unemployment/out of work these days.

- Is this sentence ok?

2 - I've heard so much about you.

- Can I say " a lot" and " too much" here?

3 - Is this seat taken?

- This means: Is this seat free?, right?

4 - How can I be of help?

- This means : How can I help you?, right?

Thanks very much to all Teachers.

Hi, 1 - A lot of/lots of people are unemployment/out of work these days. Both versions are OK, except you need the adjective 'unemployed', not the noun 'unemployment'. 2 - I've heard so much about you.
