Kiwi asks…

Does "scores of" refer to "a lot of"? Also, where is "scores of" used? on countable nouns or uncountable nouns?


Answer from a Native speaker

Rebecca

Indeed! One of the definitions of "scores" does in fact mean a lot of people or things. "Scores" would be considered an uncountable noun since it is referring to a large group of people. It's not commonly used in American English, but it might be more commonly used in British English. Ex: Large scores of people attended the concert. Ex: Scores of women were at the retreat. Thanks for your question!
