如何区别 a little little few afew

few, a few, little, a little
虽然都表示“少”，但
（1）few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。
（2）a few, a little含肯定意味，few, little含否定意味。这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理解：同样是半杯水，口渴者会认为：There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人则会认为：There is a little water in the glass.

一：
1．few修饰可数名词复数。
2．few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义；a few (= some; several; a small
number of) 含肯定意义。
3． not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。
4． 当 few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等词所修饰时，表示肯定意义，few之前不再有冠词。如：
In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again.
It took us some few days to repair the machine.
They are very few in number.
There were too few of them.
He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.
5． 在非正式文体中很少见，一般用或代替，如：
Only a few people attended the meeting.

另外，little / a little
Little remains to be done about it. (作主语)
A little remains to be done.
Please give me a little. (作宾语)
He knows a little of everything.
There is very / but little time left. (作定语)
Don’t worry; you still have a little time.
1． little修饰不可数名词，表示“量”。
2． little含否定意义(反义词：much)；a little含肯定意义(反义词：none)。
3． 在非正式英语中，一般很少用little，常用not much, only a little来代替，如：
We haven’t got much money / time.

a little little few a few这几个都是表示一点、一些的意思

a little 一点、一些 表示肯定的意义 修饰不可数名词
little 一般翻译成很少的一点 表示否定的意义 修饰不可数名词

a few 一点、一些 表示肯定的意义 修饰可数名词
few 一般翻译成很少的一点 表示否定的意义 修饰可数名词

举例：
There is little milk in the refrigerator, we have to buy some.(冰箱里只有很少的牛奶了，我们得去一些)
I am so happy that we still have a little water. 很开心我们还有一点水。
可见 little和 a little 都是修饰不可数名词

She has been living here for 5 years, and she made a few friends with her neighbors. 她在这儿住了5年了，她和她的邻居们交了一些朋友。
He is a new student, so he has few friends here. 他是新学生，所以他没有几个朋友。
这里的few 和 a few 都是修饰可数名词的。

little和a little修饰不可数名词
few和a few修饰可数名词
little和few强调少,甚至没有。
a little和a few强调有一些.
(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.

a little：一点点
little：几乎没有
它们都用来修饰不可数名词，区别在于a little的量比little的量多一些
如：There is a little water in the glass.杯子里有一点水。
There is little water in the glass.被子里几乎没水了。
a few：几个
few：几乎没有
这两个词和上面一对词区别方法类似，不过，a few和few都是用来修饰可数名词复数的
如：There are a few desks in the classroom.教室里有几张桌子。
There are few desks in the classroom.教室里几乎没几张桌子。

little和a little修饰不可数名词，前者否定，后者肯定，few和a few修饰可数名词，前者否定后者肯定
