Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:
The adjectives 'little', 'a little' and 'the little' are used with uncountable nouns.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The adjectives ‘little’, ‘a little’ and ‘the little’ are used to denote quantity. They are used for uncountable nouns. ‘A little’ means some. It has a positive meaning. For example, "There is a little juice left". On the other hand, ‘little’ means hardly any. Hence it has a negative meaning or connotation. For example, "I have little money". ‘The little’ means not many, but all of the things in a given category, like in the case of " The little milk she has was spilled". Thus the given statement is true.
