不定代词few、little的英语用法总结

在英语代词中, few 与 little 作形容词用,都表示“几乎没有”,相当于一个否定词。它们具体的区别有以下几个方面:
1、few 后面跟复数可数名词。例如:
There are few books in his room.
There are few students in his class.

2、little 后面跟单数不可数名词。例如:
He has few friends.
他没有几个朋友。
They has little money.
他们没有什么钱。

3、a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”。
a few 后加可数名词复数。例如:
I'm going to buy a few bananas.
a little 后加不可数名词单数。
I can speak only a little Chinese.

4、a little 与 little 也可以用作副词, 表示“有点”“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.(可修饰形容词比较级)
She slept little last night.
昨天晚上,她没有怎么睡觉。

5、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。例如:
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。

6、我们来看看这个例句:
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。

7、固定搭配:only a few (=few) not a few (=many) quite a few (=many) many a (=many)
Many books were sold.
卖出了许多书。
