For countable nouns ("car", "tree", "house" etc.), use "a lot of" or "lots of" followed by the plural of the noun:
"There were a lot of cars"
"There were lots of cars" -- more informal
Uncountable nouns ("sugar", "water", "sunshine" etc.) don't have a plural, so use "a lot of" or "lots of" followed by the singular:
"There was a lot of sugar"
"There was
"There were a lot of cars"
"There were lots of cars" -- more informal
Uncountable nouns ("sugar", "water", "sunshine" etc.) don't have a plural, so use "a lot of" or "lots of" followed by the singular:
"There was a lot of sugar"
"There was
