few和little的区别是什么
    虽然都表示“少”,但few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。a few, a little含肯定意味,few, little含否定意味。

    

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。

    

few、little、a few、a little区别

    few/a few之间的区别    few 和 a few 虽然只差一个 a, 但意思几乎完全相反。比如:I have a few friends in the government. (我在政府里认识些朋友),也就是我“上面有人”。但如果你说:I have few friends in the government. 那就说明你在政府里不认识什么人。

    所以,few 就是“很少,几乎没有”,而 a few 则表示“有一些”,它们都是形容词,修饰可数名词(countable nouns)。

    例句:

    (1)There are a few things I need to buy.

    我得买些东西。

    (2)There are few things I need to buy.

    我不需要买什么东西。

    再补充学习一下,quite a few 表示“很多”。

    例句:There are quite a few things I need to buy.

    我需要买很多东西。

    little/a little之间的区别    再看看 a little 和 little,其实用法跟 a few 和 few 类似。区别就在于 a little 和 little 只能修饰“不可数名词”(uncountable nouns)。

    例句:

    (1)There is a little water in the bottle.

    瓶子里还有一些水。

    (2)There is little water in the bottle.

    瓶子里几乎没水了。

    同理,quite a little 表示“很多”,“大量”,也用来修饰不可数名词,比如:

    There is quite a little water in the bottle.

    瓶子里还有大量的水。
