1. There are a lot of clubs in my school.

2. There are a lot of clubs in our school.

(Are both correct? Can we use 'our' instead of 'in'?)

3. I study a lot of subjects like mechanics, ethics, and social studies.

4. I study a lot of subjects such as mechanics, ethics, and social studies.

5. I study such a lot of subject as mechanics, ethics, and social studies.

(Are they all grammatical and the same? What about #5? Is it grammatical?)

Number 5 is Grammatical, Because of the "such".

ACK! I disagree with Brit. #5 is wrong. It should read:

I study a lot of subjects such as mechanics, ethics, and social studies. The other 4 look fine to me.

1. Both sentences are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings.

- "There are a lot of clubs in my school" emphasizes that there are many clubs available within the school that the speaker attends.
- "There are a lot of clubs in our school" implies a sense of collective ownership and suggests that the speaker is part of a group that identifies with the school and its clubs.

2. Yes, you can use 'our' instead of 'in' in the second sentence to indicate a collective ownership or association with the school and its clubs.

3. The third sentence is grammatically correct:
- "I study a lot of subjects like mechanics, ethics, and social studies" implies that the speaker studies multiple subjects, giving examples such as mechanics, ethics, and social studies.

4. The fourth sentence is also grammatically correct:
- "I study a lot of subjects such as mechanics, ethics, and social studies" conveys the same meaning as the previous sentence, but uses the phrase "such as" instead of "like" to provide examples of the subjects being studied.

5. However, the fifth sentence is not grammatically correct:
- "I study such a lot of subject as mechanics, ethics, and social studies" is incorrect because the phrase "such a lot of subject" is awkward and ungrammatical in this context. It would be more appropriate to use the phrase "a lot of subjects" as shown in the previous sentences.
