Hi! �Many a � is formal and more commonly used at an advanced level. We can use it with a singular noun and verb to mean a large number of, in this case is talking about the amount of time.  |

Many a time is commonly used to talk about past events which happened often.
eg.
Many a time we were forced to close the school due to freezing temperatures.
