Hi,
Additionaly, some notes on this subject. There is a important knowledge about quantifies, affirmative and negative statements, and question.
A Few
A few is used
with countable nouns to show a small quantity.
It is used in affirmative statements, but not
negatives. We generally use any or questions.
For example:
- I have a few books.
- I don't have a few books===> This is incorrect.
- I don't have any books====> This is incorrect.
- Do you have a few books? ====> This is correct.
Sometimes this is possibe, but generally speaking
we use any for questions, for example
"Do you have any books?"
A Little
A little is
used with uncountable nouns to show a small
quantity. Again, it is generally used in affirmative
statements, not negatives or questions. For
example:
- I have a little orange juice.
Negatives and Questions use "any"
as usual.
- I don't have a little orange juice.
===> This is incorrect.
- I don't have any orange juice.===> This is incorrect
- Do you have a little orange juice?===> This is incorrect.
- Do you have any orange juice?===> This is correct.
Regards.
Polite
