Expressing opinions about quantity: A few and a little

The quantifiers few and a few, and little and a little seem nearly identical but they are actually quite distinct. These expressions show the speaker’s attitude towards the quantity he is referring to as either positive or negative.

Expressing opinions about quantity: A few and a little

Positive attitudeA few (for countable nouns) and a little (for uncountable nouns) describe the quantity in a positive way, implying that although the speaker may not have much, he has enough.
