a few同few有咩分別?

Question

我成日搞錯!

Answer 1

其實英文文法書都有特特題到這兩個的分別。其實還有一對little 和　a little
回到你的問題
few 同a few都解作少，但a few 是指雖然少，但還有幾個；但few 則指少到幾乎沒有。
little 同a little 的分別也是一樣
至於few同 little的分別是little用在不可數的物件上，而few則用在可數的物件上。

所以下次，你見到few時，你可譯作近乎沒有；而見到a few可譯作幾個

Answer 2

a few 指小數目,或者說話人所認床的小數目
eg: Only a few of our customers have accouts. (我們的顧客中只有少數是記帳的)

few 意思為很少或沒有,幾乎具有否定的意義.
eg: Few towns have such splendid trees. (很少城市有這麼好看的樹木)


few這種用法主要限於書面語,可能由於會話中用few容易被誤認為是a few.

Answer 3

a few係數到既

few=not many同埋係negative既
例:Few people like working very hard till mid-night
