(1) few 后面跟復數(shù)可數(shù)名詞.e.g.few books few students
(2) little 后面跟單數(shù)不可數(shù)名詞.e.g.little water little food
e.g.He has few friends.他沒有幾個朋友.
They has little money.他們沒有什麼錢
2.a few 與 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一點,有一些”.具體區(qū)別：
(1) a few 后加可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)
（2）a little 后加不可數(shù)名詞單數(shù).
e.g.I'm going to buy a few bananas.
I can speak only a little Chinese.
3.a little 與 little 也可以用作副詞,表示“有點”“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.
（ 可修飾形容詞比較級）
