DIFFERENCES

EXPLANATIONS
 LITTLE VS A LITTLE
Main Difference – Little vs. A Little. Little and a little
are two quantifiers that are used with uncountable
nouns. The main difference between little and a little
is, little refers to hardly any or not much whereas a
little refers to some or small enough

We also use (very) little and few (without a). They mean
not much and not many.
They speak very little English. = They don’t speak much
English.
She has very few friends in New York. = She doesn’t
have many friends in New York
A LOT OF VS PLENTY OF
A lot of or lots of can signify a large measure or
quantity of a noun, whereas plenty and plenty of
signifies enough and more of a noun. I have lots
of peanut butter left in this jar. This thermos can
hold plenty of tea.
THERE IS NO / THERE ISN’T ANY
A) There is no light in the room .

B) There isn't any light in the room .

We use a lot (of) and lots (of) in affirmative statements before
uncountable and
countable nouns. We use a lot of before nouns, and a lot
without a noun.

reads a lot.
We use plenty of to say there is enough or more than we need.
Don’t worry – we have plenty of time before the train leaves.
Much, many, few, and little are all “quantifiers”.
Quantifiers are used to give information about
quantity (the number of something). Both much
and many suggest a large quantity of something,
whilst little and few mean: not as much, or not as
many. However, if you use a little or a few this
means a small amount!
Countable or uncountable nouns:
We don’t have any time to get popcorn before the
film starts.(Time is uncountable)
We still have some apples on the tree. (Apples are
countable)
Singular or plural nouns:

is singular)
It’s such nice weather! Let’s invite some friends
round for a BBQ. (Friends is plural)
TOO MUCH VS ENOUGH
Too and enough indicate a degree (or amount) in
English sentences.
too = more than necessary
enough = the necessary amount
not enough = less than necessary
