It's great that there's been very little bad weather this month.I'm so pleased that I have few arguments with my family.Luckily, there is little crime in my town.

There have been few problems with the new system, thankfully!.It's good to have nearly no problems, for example: Of course, if we use 'few' or 'little' with a noun that we don't want, then it can have a positive meaning. If the noun is something that we want (like money or friends) then using 'little' or 'few' means that we don't have enough: These also mean a small amount, but this time the amount is almost nothing. On the other hand, 'little' or 'few' usually give us a different impression. I have a little money, enough for the cinema at least. When we say 'a little' or 'a few', we mean a small amount, but it's enough: In many situations, we can choose to use 'a little' or 'little' (when using an uncountable noun) or 'a few' or 'few' (when using a plural countable noun). The student with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.(This is an extract from my book: A and The Explained) Download this explanation in PDF here. This process continues until all the categories have been used. Two points are awarded for every original noun - a noun that no one else has written. Students score one point for every grammatically correct and appropriate noun. 'I can see a few bags, a large number of students, a little dust on the table', etc. After one minute, students take it in turns to give their answers by making a sentence with the quantifiers, e.g. Students then have one minute to complete the first row on their worksheet with nouns that fit that category, one for each quantifier heading. Read the first category to the class, i.e. The students' task is to complete each row with nouns that fit a certain category. Quantifiers QF015 - EVERY, ALL and WHOLE QF014 - Quantifiers QF013 - Quanitifiers : EACH, EVERY, NEITHER, EITHER, BOTH, WHOLE QF012 - LITTLE, A LITTLE, FEW. The worksheet contains five columns with quantifiers as headings ( a few, a little, some, a large number of, a large amount of). In this engaging quantifiers game, students race to write down countable and uncountable nouns that belong to different quantifiers and categories.
