a lot of news前面用is还是are

a lot of news前面用is还是are？

a lot of 前面不是只能用 is 。

a lot of 表示许多,等于 many 、 lots of ,常用于名词前面, a lot of friends 许多朋友,也可以说 many friends 或 lots of friends .

与 many 意思相同时,后面接可数名词的复数形式,如 There are a lot of trees in the park 。

与 lots of 意思一样时还可以接不可数名词,如 There is a lot of rain this year 。
