people用few还是little,people用a few还是a little修饰

语法梳理：王兴刚老师

适合人群：英语教师、英语专业学生、初高中生等

其实这个考点一点都不难，但孩子们就是容易记不住。记不住哪个加可数名词，哪个加不可数名词；哪个表示肯定的，哪个表示否定的。技巧如下：

a few、a little与few、little相比，多了一个单词a。因为多了点啥，所以表示“肯定的，拥有的，存在的”；

few与little相比，伸出一只手，五个手指，一个手指代表一个字母。few能查的过来，little六个字母查不过来。能查的过来的就接可数名词；查不过来的就接不可数名词。

（ ）4.Sorry, I can’t answer your question, because I know ________ about the subject.

a few B.few C.a little D.little

答案：D。表示否定，我啥也不知道，little单独使用相当于不可数名词。

（ ）5.Could you please drive _______ faster? The train is leaving in ten minutes.

A.a few B.few C.a little D.little

答案：C。本句不是修饰名词，而是修饰比较级，a little可以修饰比较级。

（ ）6.There’s still a little orange here, but __________ people want to drink it.

A.a few B.few C.a little D.little

答案：B。表示否定，虽然有点橙汁儿，但是没人愿意喝。People是可数名词。

（ ）7.Hurry up! We’ve got __________ time before the train leaves.

A.a few B.few C.a little D.little

答案：D。否定，我们没有时间了，time是不可数名词。如果本句改成：Hurry up! We just have __________ time before the train leaves. 那么根据句义，就是我们仅有一点点时间了，就是表示肯定，time不可数，因此用a little.如果不更改，还是原来的题目就是little。
