"A lot" em Frases Negativas e Interrogativas
Podemos usar o " a lot" em frases negativas e interrogativas? Digo só o "a lot" sem o "Of".
Eu até verifiquei no grammarly. Ele não considerou nenhuma das frases erradas, mas nunca vi ninguém usando. Sempre usam very much. Mas tem alguma possibilidade de usar o "a lot" Como nas frases abaixo?
It rained a lot in the winter.
It didn't rain a lot in the winter .
Dit it rain a lot in the winter?
Obs: vi algumas frases aqui parecidas, mas no simple present.
Então essas frases no passado lá em cima estão corretas?
