A lot = a whole bunch. It is two words.
A lot is a great amount, so therefore there is one lot. Sometimes you can express even more hyperbolic quantities by saying lots, which would mean several great quantities.
Don't be confused with allot, a verb which means to distribute.

I will never forget my 10th grade english teacher Mrs. Domangue, she taught me that a lot was two words. Everytime I had it wrong on a paper she would deduct points.

two words: a lot
Though most teachers disapprove of the phrase "a lot". Try to use "plenty", ect.

a lot (two words) our teachers used to get so mad at us for spelling it as one word :-)

If you mean 'plenty' then it would be 'a lot'.
If you mean to assign something to someone or share it out then it would be 'allot'.
