'Quite a lot'

Hi!

Please tell me, in the sentence: "I've been working quite a lot lately" , 'quite a lot 'means: less than 'very', but more than 'a little' ? It means the person has been lots of things to do lately, but he hasn't been working so hard ?

Thanks for your help,

Although some people speak modestly, eg Bill Gates might say 'I have quite a lot of money' instead of 'I am incredibly rich'.

  • Usually, it's not a very exact and defined amount, and often it depends on the context.
