Loads of sand _____dumped by the roadside so that there ______ hardly any space for cars to pass.

Question

Loads of sand (was,were)dumped by the roadside so that there (was,were) hardly any space for cars to pass.

粗体的字是答案

请问为什么是这样呢？

我查了一下:

• loads of=a lot of

所以loads of 可以用在countable和uncountable?

• uncountable后面放singular

sand是uncountable可为什么后面是放plural?

谢谢大家

Answer 1

a load 是quantifier（量词）所以两种情况都能用

sand 后面放plural是因为量词可以被算  （一堆/很多堆）
