few、little、a few、a little的用法和區別是非常重要的,大家在做英語題目或者口語表達的時候要注意正確使用哦!
在英語代詞中, few 與 little 作形容詞用,都表示「幾乎沒有」,相當於一個否定詞。它們具體的區別有以下幾個方面:
1、few 後面跟複數可數名詞。例如:
There are few books in his room.
There are few students in his class.
2、little 後面跟單數不可數名詞。例如:
He has few friends.
他沒有幾個朋友。
They has little money.
他們沒有什麼錢。
3、a few 與 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指「有一點,有一些」。a few 後加可數名詞複數。例如:
I'm going to buy a few bananas.
a little 後加不可數名詞單數。例如:
I can speak only a little Chinese.
4、a little 與 little 也可以用作副詞, 表示「有點」「稍稍」 表示「很少」。例如:
---Can you speak English?
----Yes, but only a little.
This book is a little more difficult than that one.(可修飾形容詞比較級)
She slept little last night.
昨天晚上,她沒有怎麼睡覺。
5、a few / a little 為肯定含義,還有一點;few / little為否定含義,沒有多少了。
例如:
He has a few friends.
他有幾個朋友。
He has few friends.
他幾乎沒有朋友。
We still have a little time.
我們還有點時間。
There is little time left.
幾乎沒剩下什麼時間了。
6、我們來看看這個例句:
Although he 's wealthy,he spends___ on clothes.
A. little B. few C. a little D. a few
答案:A. spend所指的是錢,不可數,只能用little或 a little. 本句為although引導的讓步狀語從句,由句意知後句為否定含義,因此應用little表示幾乎不。
7、固定搭配:only a few (=few) not a few (=many) quite a few (=many)
many a (=many)
Many books were sold.
賣出了許多書。
