下面是小编给大家整理的few的用法总结（共含16篇），欢迎大家借鉴与参考，希望对大家有所帮助。同时，但愿您也能像本文投稿人“香山”一样，积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
few的含义及用法：

pron.很少；有些（人、事物、地方）；（与复数动词连用）少数人；不和…一般多。
n.很少数。

a few的意思与few不同，它没有否定含义，它表示“有几个”，有时甚至还表示“一些”。如：

当要与一段时间连用时，我们总是用a few，不用few。如：

另外，还要注意not a few和quite a few这两个短语，不要误认为它们是反义词，其实它们几乎是同义词，都可表示“不少”“相当多”的意思。如：

Quite a few of us are worried. 我们不少人很着急。

夜里下了一点儿雨。
They grumbled a little about having to wait.
他们为要等候抱怨了几句。
2. 与具有“令人不快的”意义的形容词和副词连用：
可以用 rather（adv. 宁可，宁愿；相当）来代替a little。rather也可以用于比较级之前，但a little更常用一些。
a little anxious 有点儿着急
a little annoyed 有点儿不耐烦

3. 与形容词和副词的比较级连用：动词 + a little + 比较级

这有点儿让人失望。

过去的一年里她做了不少工作。
a bit修饰形容词、动词、副词，后接形容词，表示“有点”a little bit = a bit，只不过a little bit比a bit的还少一点。

你对他软了些。
He's half asleep and a bit boozed.

a bit和a little在肯定句中修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级时可以互换,表示”一点儿“的意思。
The speaker spoke up a bit/a little so as to make himself heard more clearly.
演讲者把嗓门提高了一点儿,以便使别人听得更清楚。
a bit和a little在否定句中的意思恰恰相反, not a bit相当于”not at all“(一点儿都不)；not a little相当于”very(much)“或”extremely"(很、非常)。
She is not a bit tired. = She is not tired at all.
她一点都不累。

午饭只能吃剩下的一点食品了。
a nice bit of相当多的
He has got a nice bit of money for his book.
他那本书得到了相当可观的一笔钱。
4. little意为很少或几乎不，具有否定意义。在比较正式的文体中，little主要同better或more连用：
His second suggestion was little ( = not much) better than his first.
他的第二个建议比第一个好不了多少。
5. 在正式的英语中，little可用在某些动词如 expect，know，suspect，think等之前：
He little expected to find himself in prison.
他几乎没有料到自己会进监狱。
He little thought that one day…
他几乎从不曾想过有一天……
三、a litile，a few（形容词和代词）用法
a little指少量或者说话人认为少的量；a few指小数目或者说话人认为小的数目。
1. 把only放在a little／a few之前，是为了强调说话人认为该数量的确很小。
Only a few of our customers have accounts.
我们的顾客中只有少数人是记账的。
2. 但是把quite（adv. 很；相当；完全）放在a few之前就大大增大了这个数量：quite a few 不少。
I have quite a few books on art.
我有不少关于艺术的书。(许多书)
四、little和few（形容词和代词）用法：
1. little和few意为很少或没有，几乎具有否定意义：
There was little time for consultation.
几乎没有时间商量。
Few towns have such splendid trees.
有这么好看的树木的城市不多。
2. little和few的这种用法主要限于书面英语（可能由于在日常会话中little和few容易被误认为是 a little／a few）。因此，在日常会话中little和few通常由hardly any(几乎没有)替代，也可以由动词否定式+much／many替代：
We saw little.
我们没有看到什么。
相当于：
We saw hardly anything./We didn’t see much.
我们几乎什么都没有看到。
Tourists come here but few stay overnight.
有游客到这里来，但很少有人过夜。
相当于：
Tourists come here but hardly any stay overnight.
有游客到这里来，但几乎没有人在这里过夜。
3. 但如果little和few由so，very，too，extremely (adv. 非常，极其；极端地)，comparatively (adv. 比较地；相当地)，relatively (adv. 相当地；相对地，比较地)等词修饰，就可以较自由地使用。
fewer 较少的
I’m unwilling to try a drug I know so little about.
我不乐意服我知之甚少的药。
They have too many technicians, we have too few.
他们的技术员太多，而我们的又太少。

little和few的区别，5类不定代词的用法，高分必看!
some 与 any
01
some 用于肯定句 中，any 用于否定句 、疑问句 和条件句 中。
但是，在表示请求、邀请或征求意见的句子中，通常要用 some 而不用any。
例句
Will you lend me some money?
可以借些钱给我吗?
指两者和三者的不定代词
02
有些不定代词用于指两者 (如 both, either, neither )，有的不定代词用于指三者 (如 all, any, none, every )，具体使用时要根据一定的上下文正确选用。
例句
Were they all college students?
他们都是大学生吗?
each 可用于两者、三者或三者以上 ，而 every 只用于三者或三者以上 ，因此用于两者时只能用 each，不能用 every。
例句
There are trees on each side of the road.
路的两边都有树。
（a） few 与 （a） little
03
few 和 a few 后接可数名词的复数形式，而 little 和 a little 后接不可数名词。
其中 few 和 little 表示数量很少或几乎没有 ，强调“少”，含有否定意义;而带有不定冠词的a few 和 a little 则表示数量虽然少但毕竟还有 ，强调“有”，含有肯定意义。
例句
He knew few of them.
他们中间他认识的人很少。
There is still a little left.
还剩一点点。
all, every, each 的用法
04
从强调重点上看：
all 强调整体地考虑总体 ，every 强调考虑总体中的所有成员 (与all很接近)，each 则强调逐个逐个地考虑总体 。
从用法上看：
all 和 each 既可单独使用 ，也可后接名词 ，还可后接 of 短语 ;而 every 后必须接名词 ，既不能单独使用也不能后接 of 短语。
从含义上看：
each 指两者或两者以上的“每个” ，every 指三者或三者以上“每个” ，因此指两者时只能用 each 。
从用法上看，few和a few后面要接可数名词的复数形式;从意义上看，few 用来强调小数目的否定意义，相当于说“很少”或“几乎没有”，它的含义是该数目令人失望或令人吃惊的小。如：
Few people like snakes. 很少有人喜欢蛇。
I know few of them. 他们当中我几乎不认识什么人。
a few的意思与few不同，它没有否定含义，它表示“有几个”，有时甚至还表示“一些”。如：
After a few tries they gave up. 试过几次之后他们就放弃了。
当要与一段时间连用时，我们总是用a few，不用few。如：
We need a place where we can stay for a few days. 我们需要一个能住几天的地方。
另外，还要注意not a few和quite a few这两个短语，不要误认为它们是反义词，其实它们几乎是同义词，都可表示“不少”“相当多”的意思。如：
Not a few of the members were absent. 不少会员未出席。
Quite a few of us are worried. 我们不少人很着急。

Unfortunately, I had little money on me. 很不巧，我身上没带什么钱。
Fortunately, I had a little money on me. 幸好我身上带着一点钱。
3. 一般说来，在 only, still, can, quite, not 等词之后通常用带有不定冠词的 a few 或 a little，而在 very, some, the, no, so, too 等词之后通常用不带冠词的 few 或 little。如：
He was not a little surprised. 他大为吃惊。
There’s only a little left. 只剩下一点点。
I have so little time to enjoy myself. 我娱乐时间很少。
Very few people understand what he said. 几乎没什么人懂他的话。
4.两者的比较等级变化分别为 few, fewer, fewest (后接可数名词复数)，little, less, least (后接不可数名词)。如：
Who has the fewest mistakes? 谁的错误最少?
He is the best teacher even though he has the least experience. 他尽管经验最少，但教得最好。
You ought to smoke fewer cigarettes and drink less beer. 你应该少抽烟，少喝啤酒。
注：在现代英语的非正式文体中，有时人们也将 less, least 用于复数名词前，不过这种用法有不少人反对，初学者不宜仿用。如(www.yywords.com)：
There are fewer [less] cars on the road at night. 晚上路上的汽车要少些。
5. few 和 little 前除受不定冠词修饰表示肯定意义外，若受其他限定词的修饰也表肯定意义。如：
She was among the few who have read the book. 她是少数读过这本书的人之一。
Her few possessions were sold after her death. 她那点儿财产死后就被卖掉了。
The little of his work that I have seen seems excellent. 我所看到的他那一小部分工作似乎非常出色。
注：a man [person] of few words (沉默寡言的人)是习词，其中的 few 前不用冠词或其他限定词。
2. a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思，指“有一点，有一些”。具体区别：
(1) a few 后加可数名词复数
（2）a little 后加不可数名词单数。
e.g. I'm going to buy a few bananas.
I can speak only a little Chinese.
3. a little 与 little 也可以用作副词， 表示“有点”“稍稍” 表示“很少”
如：
Few people like snakes. 很少有人喜欢蛇。
I know few of them. 他们当中我几乎不认识什么人。
a few的意思与few不同，它没有否定含义，它表示“有几个”，有时甚至还表示“一些”。如：
After a few tries they gave up. 试过几次之后他们就放弃了。
当要与一段时间连用时，我们总是用a few，不用few。如：
We need a place where we can stay for a few days. 我们需要一个能住几天的.地方。
另外，还要注意not a few和quite a few这两个短语，不要误认为它们是反义词，其实它们几乎是同义词，都可表示“不少”“相当多”的意思。如：
Not a few of the members were absent. 不少会员未出席。
Quite a few of us are worried. 我们不少人很着急。
