- A little
- Few
- Little
- A few
- A little (much is also possible)
- A little (some is also possible)
- A few, few
- Few
The main thing you need to keep in mind doing this exercise is that “few/little” denote a shortage of something and “a few/ a little” imply enough of something.
For example:
- I have a few pomegranates left in the fridge, so I won’t have to go to the grocery store to pick up some more.
- I have very few pomegranates left in the fridge, so I’m going to have to go to the grocery store to pick up some more.
