little,a little,few,a few的区别呢?
第一种，按照可数与不可数分类。
可数的是：few和a few，比如说banana，apple啊这些可数的名词前面我们可以加这两个词，few bananas就是表示几乎没有香蕉啦，而a few bananas呢就是表示还有些香蕉。
few等同于not many，hardly any;a few等同于some、several、a small number of
不可数的是：little和a little，用来修饰不可数名词，比如说salt，sugar，bread之类的，例如
little salt就是表示没有盐啦，而a little salt则可以表示还有一点盐的
第二种，按肯定与否定来分类。
肯定的是：a little和a few
否定的是：little和few
什么是肯定和否定呢，我们就需要通过几个例句来了解一下，我们可以拿比较著名的半杯水思维区分乐观和悲观的人来举个栗子。半杯水摆在我们面前，悲观的人会认为，杯子里几乎没有水了，就是:There is little water in the glass,而乐观的人会认为，太好了，还有水诶，就是:There is a little water in the glass
1.few 与 little 作形容词用,都表示“几乎没有”,相当于一个否定词.具体区别：
(1) few 后面跟复数可数名词.e.g.few books few students
(2) little 后面跟单数不可数名词.e.g.little water little food
e.g.He has few friends.他没有几个朋友.
They has little money.他们没有什麽钱
2.a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”.具体区别：
(1) a few 后加可数名词复数
（2）a little 后加不可数名词单数.
e.g.I'm going to buy a few bananas.
I can speak only a little Chinese.
3.a little 与 little 也可以用作副词,表示“有点”“稍稍” 表示“很少”
e.g.----Can you speak English?
----Yes,but only a little.
This book is a little more difficult than that one.
（ 可修饰形容词比较级）
She slept little last night.昨天晚上,她没有怎么睡觉.
虽然都表示“少”,但
（1）few,a few是可数的,little,a little是不可数的.
（2）a few,a little含肯定意味,few,little含否定意味.这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为：There is little water in the glass.而不口渴的人则会认为：There is a little water in the glass.
一：
1．few修饰可数名词复数.
2．few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义；a few (= some; several; a small
number of) 含肯定意义.
3． not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many.
4． 当 few受 every,last,past,next,some,very等词所修饰时,表示肯定意义,few之前不再有冠词.如：
In the last few minutes,he checked up his paper again.
It took us some few days to repair the machine.
They are very few in number.
There were too few of them.
He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.
5． 在非正式文体中很少见,一般用或代替,如：
Only a few people attended the meeting.
另外,little / a little
Little remains to be done about it.(作主语)
A little remains to be done.
Please give me a little.(作宾语)
He knows a little of everything.
There is very / but little time left.(作定语)
Don’t worry; you still have a little time.
1． little修饰不可数名词,表示“量”.
2． little含否定意义(反义词：much)；a little含肯定意义(反义词：none).
3． 在非正式英语中,一般很少用little,常用not much,only a little来代替,
