Как понять принцип
| Значение | Исчисляемые | Неисчисляемые |
|---|---|---|
| немного, но есть | a few | a little |
| почти нет | (very) few | (very) little |
| много | many / a lot of | much / a lot of |
- Если существительное можно поставить во множественное число — chair → chairs, carrot → carrots — оно исчисляемое. С ним используем many / few / a few.
- Если множественного числа нет — water, money, bread, soup, sugar — оно неисчисляемое. С ним используем much / little / a little.
- A few / a little звучат положительно: «немного, но достаточно».
- Few / little — отрицательно: «почти нет».
- A lot of подходит и к исчисляемым, и к неисчисляемым, особенно в утверждениях.
Проверка: в № 8 слова can make / can buy подсказывают, что чего-то достаточно → a few / a little. А can’t make / go and buy some — что почти нет → very few / very little. В № 11 money, soup, snow, sugar — неисчисляемые, а people, carrots, friends, flowers, sweets — исчисляемые.
