few,little,a few,a little
(a)few+可數(shù)名詞，(a)little+不可數(shù)名詞
a few/a little 為肯定含義，還有一點
few/little 為否定含義，沒有多少了。
He has a few friends.他有幾個朋友。

典型例題：
Although he's wealthy,he spends___ on clothes.
A.little B.few C.a little D.a few
答案：A.spend所指的是錢，不可數(shù)，只能用little或a little.本句為although引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句，由句意知后句為否定含義，因此應(yīng)用little表示幾乎不。
