Which one is right: "there are a lot of content" or "there is a lot of content"? [closed]
Which one is right?
- There are a lot of content.
- There is a lot of content.
A friend of mine said "there are a lot of content in TikTok app" and I corrected him saying "there is" which lead to an mini-argument and google searching. I tried doing my research and went through this article but it doesn't give the exact answer since content itself is a tricky word. So which one is right and why?
Solution 1:
The correct answer should be the 2nd option (There is a lot of content in TikTok app.) because the word "content" in this context is an uncountable noun.
There are also instances where the word "content" acts as a countable noun. (Example: The contents of the book are listed on the front page.)
