  Hi Oscar,

  You are welcome. The word "no" can be so tricky, too:

  There were no letters for you.

  I've got no time.

  
  But you need to choose the single or plural according to what you're trying to say:

  He's got no children. (usually you have more than one child, so it's more natural than "no child")

  He's got no wife. ("no wives" may seem somebody has more than one wife)

  Hope it helps.

  Hi Oscar,

  Thanks for leaving such a great question on my page. I really enjoyed reading it and was so flattered. 

  You should use "any dollars" (plural) in that situation. But, "any" can mean "it doesn't matter which/what/who", for instance, "You could read any book (singular) here." So, you see, "any" can be so tricky. 

  "A lot of" and "lots of" are interchangeable. So, both of the sentences are correct.  More examples for you: "A lot of teachers want (plural) to help answer the question."  "lots of time is (singular) needed." 

  You could ask Alan on EC's "Grammar Help"forum. 

  Hope it helps.
