FEW / LITTLE


We use few and little to suggest a small quantity or amount of something.
Few (not many) is used with plural countable nouns. Example: There are few people in the classroom.
Little (not much) is used with uncountable nouns. Example: There is little milk in the fridge.
While Few and Little usually have negative meanings, especially when used with very. A few (some) and A little (some) normally convey a positive idea. Examples:
I have a few friends living in London. (Countable noun)
There is a little milk in the fridge. (Uncountable noun) 


Write some sentences with much, many, a lot of, few, little, a few and a little.

SUBJECT PRONOUNS

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. A subject pronoun is used as the subject of a sentence in place of a person’s or thing’s name or description, particularly after the subject has already been introduced to avoid repetition. Subject pronouns usually come before the main verb.   These are the subject pronouns we use in English: IT (third singular person) is normally used when we refer to an object, thing, animal or idea (not people). When they are plural we use THEY (third plural person). Examples: The puppy is on the couch. It (the puppy) is so cute. / The puppies are on the couch. They (the puppies) are so cute. We use IT also when we talk about the time, weather or temperature. It is five o'clock (= the time is five o'clock) It is cold today. (= the weather is cold today.) It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now...

Big letters are sometimes called upper case or capitals . Examples: A, B, C, D, E… Small letters are sometimes called lower case . Examples: a, b, c, d, e… We always write the alphabet in the same order. This order is called "alphabetical order":     We say all the letters of the alphabet the same in British English and American English except for Z . In British English we say Zed . In American English we say Zee . The letters above are in normal "alphabetical order" but the letters below are grouped by sound . The letters in each column all have the same vowel sound.    The letters of the alphabet do NOT always represent the sa...
