#. What is the difference between little and a little?
#. Little এবং a little মধ্যে পার্থক্য কি কি?
(a). Little used as an adjective:
Little is usually an Adjective. You can use it to talk about the size of something. It is used with uncountable nouns.
- He took a little red book from his pocket.
(b). a little' used as an adverb:
A little is usually an adverb. You can use it after a verb, or in front of an adjective or another adverb. It means `to a small extent or degree'.
- They get paid for it. Not much. Just a little.
- The local football team is doing a little better.
- The celebrations began a little earlier than expected.
Be Careful! Don't use ‘a little' in front of an
adjective when the adjective comes in front of a noun.
For
example:
Don't say: `It was a little better result'.
Say: `It was a slightly better result' or `It was a somewhat better result'.
(C). Used in front of nouns:
Little and a little are also used in front of nouns to talk about quantities. When they are used like this, they do not have the same meaning.
You
use a little to show that you are talking about a small quantity or
amount of something. When you use little without `a', you are
emphasizing that there is only a small quantity or amount of something.
So,
for example, if you say `I have a little money', you are saying that you have
some money.
However, if you say `I have little money', you mean that you do not have enough money.
- I had made a little progress - আমি একটু উন্নতি করেছি।
- It is clear that little progress was made - এটা স্পষ্ট যে সামান্য অগ্রগতি হয়েছে।
(d). Used as pronouns:
Little and
a little can be used in similar ways as pronouns.
- Beat in the eggs, a little at a time - ডিমগুলো একটু একটু করে বিট করুন।
- Little has changed - সামান্য পরিবর্তন হয়েছে।
(e). ‘not much’
In
conversation and in less formal writing, people do not usually use `little'
without `a'. Instead, they use ‘not much’.
For
example:
Instead
of saying - `I have little money',
They
say - `I haven't got much money' or `I don't have much money'.
- We
don't have much time.
Be Careful! Don't
use ‘little’ or ‘a little’ when you are talking about a small
number of people or things.
For
example:
Don't say: `She has a little hens'.
Say: `She has a few hens'.
Don't say: `Little people attended his lectures'.
Say: `Few people attended his lectures', or `Not
many people attended his lectures'.
