6 Комментариев для «Few, a few, little, a little – упражнения на употребление в английском языке»
Зачем вы в упражнении 3 и 4 запихнули только единственный вариант ответа? Это абсолютно не логично.
Ну вот чтобы вы засомневались.
Здравствуйте, в 5-м упражнении в первом предложении «There are only _________ biscuits left.» должно стоять «few». Т.к. few — это мало, недостаточно. А в предложении есть слово «only», у нас осталось только чуть-чуть печенок, недостаточно.
Добрый день. Верный ответ a few — только несколько, а не только мало (так будет звучать ваш вариант с few)
В варианте 2 теста (самое последнее упражнение),в 5) They’ve already been to Spain for ______ ,у Вас дан ответ a few. Это будет верным,если в конце добавить слово days. В таком виде- a little
