Only a Few and Only a Little

Only a Few and Only a Little

Remember that only a few and only a little have the same meaning, but only a few is used before a plural count noun and only a little is used before a non-count noun.

Only A Few	Noun (Count - Plural)
Only a few	dollars	have been budgeted for supplies

Avoid using few instead of a few after only.

Only A Little	Noun (Non-count)
We have only a little	homework	for Monday

avoid using little instead of a little after only.

Hint: Using only adds a little emphasis to the determiners studied in the last few lessons. This form can carry either a pessimistic or optimistic point of view (see Lesson 69), depending on the subject-verb context. Example 1 above is pessimistic, showing that more dollars probably should have been budgeted for supplies. Example 2 above is optimistic (unless you like homework), showing that there is not much work to do.

Remember this story in English: There were two men. Each man had half a cup of happiness. One man said: "How sad! I have little happiness." The other man said, "How wonderful! I have a little happiness." The difference between little and a little is the point of view. Little or few means not a lot, or not enough. A little or a few means some.
