一、修饰不可数名词
- little:很少或没有,本身带有否定意义,用于肯定句
- a little:有一点,全句还是肯定句
比如下面两个句子,意思完全不同:
- There is little water in the glass. (瓶子里几乎没有水了。)
- There is a little water in the glass.(瓶子里有一些水。)
二、修饰可数名词
- few:几乎没有 (He has few friends, so he feels lonely.)
- a few:有一些,有几个 (He has a few friends.)
三、a little, little可以用作副词;few不能用作副词
副词可以修饰形容词、比较级、动词等。
- I am a little hungry. (修饰形容词)
- He is a little higher than John.(修饰比较级)
- She little dreams that she would marry him.(她从来都没有碰到会嫁给他)
四、注意 a lot of / lots of 可以接可数或者不可数名词
- 二者意思相近,都表示 许多、大量的,相当于 many/much
- 它和名词一球作主语时,谓语动词用单数还是复数形式由后面的名词形式来定。
- A lot of/Lots of money was lost.
- A lot of/ Lots of people were wounded.
五、a lot 口语中的常用词组
1、多用于肯定句或疑问句,否定句一般用 many/much.
2、作名词短语时,表示很多、多量,在句中作主语、宾语或表语。
如:Sometimes we have very little snow, but sometimes there is a lot.
3、作副词短语时,在句中作程度状语,表示“很、非常、常常”,修饰
如:I like him quite a lot.
