Few．A Few VS Little．A Little

few? a few?? VS little? a little??


今日同大家討論既就係 - Few,a few, little & a little



FEW VS LITTLE

先黎個test先:

1. I have little money left.

2. I have few money left.



邊句岩? 當然就係第一句啦~
其實little 用黎形容uncountable既野，就好似money咁，唔係一件件既，所以就應該用little而唔用few。

所以:

little / a little : uncountable nouns

few / a few : countable nouns



Examples:

Little

1. We'll wait a little longer.

2. I only have little water left.

Few

1. There are a few cakes left.

2. We've been having a few problems with the new computer.



A LITTLE / A FEW VS LITTLE / FEW

好喇，分完few 同little既分別之後就輪到 few / little 同 a few / a little



Example: I have a few books but he has few books.

我仲有少少書 - 但係佢得番好少書

I have a little wine but he has little wine.

我仲有少少紅酒 - 但係佢得番好少紅酒



A few/ a little = 仲有少少 (positive)

few / little = 得番少少 (negative)



言下之意:

I have a little wine = 我仲有少少紅酒，係試唔試下? (仲夠請人飲)

I have little wine = 我得番好少紅酒，請唔到你飲了。(連自己飲都無乜)

對比之下就可以知道 a few 同 a little 所指的數量其實係比 few / little 多既。



至於點記呢...我會記住 a few 比 few 多左一個字，所以 a few 係比 few 多d既~
