"use of many" vs "use of a lot (of)"

Hello there :smiley:

Are the following sentences correct ?

  1. Mr. Smith knows many things about Tingatinga.
  2. Mr. Smith knows a lot about Tingatinga.
  3. Mr Smith knows a lot of things about Tingatinga.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Mdenglish.

All 3 sentences are correct as written.

Is Tingatinga referring to the artist or the style? Either way, your sentences are still correct.

I confess I had to google Tingatinga. You learn something new everyday!
