which one is the correct? "The more he does, the littlest he wants to do"? OR?

Question

the more he does the little he wants to do"? It has to be with the adjective LITTLE, but I just can't figure this out. THanks

Answer 1

The more he does, the least he wants to do.

Answer 2

I can't make this look right as it is. I would have written, 'The more he does, the LESS he wants to do.' or perhaps that doesn't convey the correct meaning. Ot it could be an incomplete sentence, some thing alng the lines of 'The more he does OF the little he wants to do ...' followed by something like, ' ...the less interested he becomes.'

Answer 3

Both are completely ungrammatical. If they are choices in a textbook the person who wrote the book should be taken out back and shot. Or maybe just fired.

I take it you need a sentence with the word little in it? Perhaps, "he wants to do as little work as possible." And even that doesn't sound too great.

Answer 4

i don't think either one of them is correct but between the two the more he does the little he wants to do is better. theres no such word as littlest.

Answer 5

Yep, neither. Should be "The more he does, the less he wants to do." If you need "little" in it, think of a different sentence.

Answer 6

niether seem right
the more he does the less he wonts to do

Answer 7

if you have to use "little"as it is,then i suggest :
"the more he does, little is left to be done""
