Hello all!

I have searched for it and found a lot of webpages having written this kind of sentences....

Is this a correct sentence? I am especially curious to know whether or not "having written" is correctly used.


Thank you very much.

I am looking forward to your answers!

No, it's incorrect.

You can say: "I have searched for it and found a lot of webpages using this kind of sentence."
Consider using "many" instead of "a lot of."

I have no problem with "a lot of".

I would not use "a lot of/lots of" in letters and formal documents.

There is no evidence that the OP's post was either.
