a few修饰可数名词,“A few” 是指数量较少(的东西),同样只能修饰可数名词。与之意思相同的,修饰不可数名词的是 “a little”。
a few 和few的用法辨析
1、共同点:a few, few 用来修饰可数名词。
2、不同点:
a few “有一些”“有几个”,表示肯定概念;
few “几乎没有”“没几个”,表示否定意义。
例如:
1、There are a few books on the desk.
桌子上有几本书。
2、There are few eggs in the frige.Will you please buy some for me
冰箱了没有多少鸡蛋了,你去给我买些好吗?
3、----Tom often plays alone.He has few friends.
----Yes,he is too shy to make friends.
汤姆总是自己玩,他没有几乎没有朋友。
是的,他太害羞了以至于交不了朋友。
a little修饰可数还是不可数
a little, little 用于修饰不可数名词。a little,有一些,有点。表示肯定概念。little 几乎没有,没有多少。表示否定概念。
例如:
1、There is little milk in the fridge.Could you go to the supermarket and buy some for me?
冰箱里没有多少牛奶了,你能去超市给我买些吗?
2、There is little ink in my pen.Will you please give me a little
我钢笔快要没水了,你能给我点吗?
3、I have little money in my wallet,I can buy nothing.
我钱包了几乎没钱了,我什么也买不了了。
a few后加单数还是复数
A few是几个的意思,所以后面加可数名词复数形式。 A few强调的是几个,所以说要加复数形式。 A little通常是不可数名词。所以a few加可数名词复数,做主语的时候,谓语动词谓语动词也用,复数形式也用。
