little和few的区别

Answer 1

few和little的区别

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。
