文字稿
Hi, I'm Phil and I'm going to tell you the difference between little, and a little. Yes! They almost mean the same thing. No! We don't use them in the same way. They both refer to small quantities, and we use them with uncountable nouns.
If we use little with no article – then it is usually negative – the small quantity is a problem!
There's little money left – we can't buy anything!
Or: There's little time left – we need to start now!
But if we use a little with the article, it's usually positive. It always means 'at least we've got some!'
We've got a little money. Let's spend it on a party!
We've got a little time. Let's have some tea.
Remember it like this:
If you've got a little money, but little time – you could pay someone to help you.
But, if you've got little money, and a little time – you should do it yourself!
