What's the difference?
Let's order a lot of cakes and lots of ice cream. What's the difference between a lot of and lots of? I know that a lot of can be used with countable and uncountable nouns. So, we can say Let's order a lot of cakes and ice cream, right?

Thanks in advance.

Answer

The meaning is the same, but "lots of" is more informal, almost colloquial.

Answer

a lot of and lots of have the same meaning: they both mean a large amount or number of people or things

They are both used before countable nouns and uncountable nouns

They don't really make any difference though both of them sounds good for me :))
