As time passes, I'm beginning to get a bit lost in the correct usage of quantitative words like lot , plenty and the like. I used to be pretty sure of how they should be used, but I'm seeing many different uses and that makes me wonder. Can you please reform the following sentences to be correct? * A lot of people is / are waiting for it. * Lots of water is / are needed. * A plenty of objects is / are scattered around. My impression is that it should be: * A lot of people are waiting for it. * Lots of water is needed. * Plenty of objects are scattered around. Am I right?
