(2) little 后面跟单数不可数名词.e.g.little water little food
e.g.He has few friends.他没有几个朋友.
They has little money.他们没有什麽钱
2.a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”.具体区别：
(1) a few 后加可数名词复数
（2）a little 后加不可数名词单数.
e.g.I'm going to buy a few bananas.
I can speak only a little Chinese.
3.a little 与 little 也可以用作副词,表示“有点”“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.
