Absolutely, "a lot" can have multiple meanings based on its context! 📚 Mostly, it's used to mean "many" or "much". For example, "I have a lot of books" means "I have many books".

But did you know it can also refer to a plot of land? For example, "He bought a lot to build his house". It may also informally refer to someone's destiny or fate, as in "It's your lot in life". See, language is like a puzzle, each piece changes meaning depending its neighbours. Isn't that amazing? 🧩
