Your friend is a sore loser.

Q: What is the difference between a lot of and lots of?
A: Not much.

A careful speaker will say "My friends and I were playing cards" but "Me and my friends...." (Ugh!) is often used.

Should it be "a careful speaker will not say ... but ... ," or am I wrong? :roll:

Will not say Me and my friends.

i didn't under stand ! .. shall he say " i won " or " i win " ???

Say "I won!" or "I win!" Both are used.

I remember that a lot of = lots of. The only difference is what word you like using.
Ps: i guess so.

Much is used for uncountable nouns. Time is an uncountable noun. We cannot say times. So we use much. (for countable nouns we use many)

A lot of is used for both countable and uncountable nouns.

So, we can use both of them. Am I right?

Re: Much , Many , A lot of

I, a native [U.S.] speaker, would say "I have a lot of problems," and "We got a lot of snow." And I would say ""I haven't got many problems," and "We didn't get much snow." But there is pretty wide variation in this area, so if you can, ask more speakers.
