a lot of是口语和书面语中最常见的用语,它既可以修饰可数名词（相当于many）,也可以修饰不可数名词（相当于much）,通常用在肯定句中,例如：

a lot of即可以用is也可以用are，比如下面两个例子
1 a lot of后面是可数名词的单数或者不可数名词，用is

2 后面是可数名词的复数，用are
There are a lot of countries in the same situation.
像a lot of, plenty of等等这样的词组，不影响动词的形式，在这里表现在不影响is和are，而用哪个只取决于a lot of 后面是什么。

a lot of 是很多，大量的意思，所以is和are都没有问题，要看of后面是可数还是不可数名词。例如water不可数，就用is，books就用are。
