Look at Ann's diary. Write foue sentences about Wednesday. e.g. On Wednesday Ann ...

Сначала о главном, да о грамматике, без неё никуда.

(a) few – используется с исчисляемыми существительными: cats, dogs…

(a) little – соответственно с неисчисляемыми: milk, money…

Когда же использовать few/little, а когда a few/a little?

Здесь весь фокус в том, какой смысл мы вкладываем в предложение:

a few – немного, несколько, но есть// few – очень мало, почти нет.

a little - немного, но есть// little - очень мало, почти нет.

Возьмём первый пример:

1. Не has got a few friends – у него есть несколько друзей

1. Не has got few friends – у него почти нет друзей

Почувствовала разницу?

А дальше можно так:

2. I drink little coffee. I don’t like it.

3. We must hurry. We’ve got very little time.

4. There are very few scholarships for students in this university.

5. The Smiths have a little money. They aren’t rich.

6. The theatre was almost empty. There were very few people there. (a person-people=plural noun)

7. There was (a) little lemonade in the bottle. There were (a) few peaches in the basket.

8. I have little time, so I can’t go with you. (time – uncountable/ может быть исчисляемым в значении «сколько раз – how many times»)

9. There is little ink in my pen. Have you got any ink?

10. There are a few bears in the zoo.(хочется надеяться, что a few, а не few)

Комментарий: в выражения very little и very few артикль не используется, но если другими словами, то по значению very little = little,а very few = few.

Good Luck!

I am keen on football. In my opinion, this game is very exciting. It’s good for my body and for my mind. I have been interested in football since I came to school. Then I had my fist team. I usually play football a few times a week. You communicate while playing and feel emotions of other people. I like it because it’s a team game and for me it’s boring when you have to play alone. I enjoy my hobby because I can spend time with my friends and do what I want.  There is one more reason why football has become my hobby. It’s extremely popular with people. I think that it’s the best hobby.
