Question
We have very _____________ money, so we can't afford to buy a new car.a) a fewb) littlec) a littled) few
Solution
The correct answer is b) little.
"We have very little money, so we can't afford to buy a new car."
In English, "little" and "a little" are used with uncountable nouns (like 'money'), while "few" and "a few" are used with countable nouns. The difference between "little" and "a little" or "few" and "a few" is that "a little" and "a few" are more positive, meaning some; "little" and "few" are more negative, meaning almost none or almost nothing. So, in this sentence, "little" is used to express the negativity of not having enough money to afford a new car.
