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.
Many,much都意为"许多",many + 可数名词,much + 不可数名词
一、 none 无
1) none作主语,多与of 构成短语 none of.在答语中,none可单独使用.
Are there any pictures on the wall? None.
2) none作主语,谓语动词单复数均可.但如做表语,则其单复数与表语一致.
It is none of your business.
