【原】英语语法：不定代词few, little

前几期我们学习了英语语法：不定代词one, everyone, both, all、不定代词either, any、不定代词neither, none、不定代词another, other（1）、不定代词another, other（2）。这一期，我们学习英语语法：不定代词few, little。

13. (a) few，(a) little

（1）用作代词或者形容词，(a) few与可数名词连用。(a) few（一些）表示肯定意义，相当于some，而few（不多，很少）表示否定意义。

比如：

很少有学生可以找到题目的答案。

（2）(a) little与可数名词连用。a little一些 表示肯定意义，相当于some，而little（不多，很少）表示否定意义。

比如：

我现在有些家务要干。

When he finished the exam paper, there was little time left.

当他答完试卷时，剩下的时间不多了。

（3）副词only, quite, just可以用于a few, a little之前，但不能用于few, little之前。

比如：
