小学英语语法：few,little,a few,a little的用法与区别

　　(a) few + 可数名词, (a) little + 不可数名词

　　a few / a little 为肯定含义，还有一点

　　few / little　为否定含义，没有多少了。

　　He has a few friends.　　　他有几个朋友。

　　He has few friends.　　　 他几乎没有朋友。

　　We still have a little time. 我们还有点时间。

　　There is little time left.几乎没剩下什么时间了。

　　典型例题:

　　Although he 's wealthy，he spends___ on clothes.

　　A. little　 B. few　C. a little　 D. a few

　　答案： A. spend所指的是钱，不可数，只能用little或 a little. 本句为although引导的让步状语从句，由句意知后句为否定含义，因此应用little表示几乎不。

　　固定搭配:

　　only a few (=few)　 not a few (=many)　 quite a few (=many)

　　many a (=many)

　　Many books were sold.

　　Many a book was sold.

　　卖出了许多书。
