Always is not commonly placed at the start of a sentence.

I understand it, teacher. It's a frequency adverb like "sometimes". And I find more sense using Always so could you tell me why reason is better always. I'm a little confused.

There are always lots of mosquitoes there would be fine.

I didn't say 'always' is better. Did you think I said that?

Do you think \always' is better? Why?

Dear Blue Jay and Clive, can we use both 'a lot of' and 'lots of' with either 'countable' or 'uncountable nouns'?

For eg: Would saying the following sentences be correct with both 'a lot of' and 'lots of'?

- A lot of money/lots of money is being wasted.
- A lot of people/lots of people agree with this.

Thank you.

I think is better always because when you go into the jungle. You always will find mosquitoes. Not sometimes.

Laborious- A lot of money/lots of money is being wasted.- A lot of people/lots of people agree with this.
A lot of is better in both these sentences, but, informally, lots would work.
