[Larry]

hi everybody today ive got a probleme and thanx for Allah i solved it
DO U WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS?MMMMM
ITS ABOUT"Different between a few and few

they both are used with countable noun.
-a few has positive meaning. It means a small amount of something,but it is enough.
-Few has negative meaning.it means a small amount of something and it isn't still enough.

for example,
-I have a few apples. This means that 2 or 3 apples is enough for me.
- I have few apples. This means that 2 o 3 apples that i have is not still enough,i still need more.

الــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ ـــــــــف شكر ..............
قبل فترة كنت افكر شالفرق بينهم ؟؟؟
لاني ادرس منهج اول ثانوي وفي جزئية انتبهت لها بحوار يقول طالب لصديقه wait a few minutes ....
لكن عندي سؤال لاهل المعرفة :: الجملة بهذا الشكل هل هي مفرد او جمع؟؟ وهل الجملة بالشكل هذا خطأ ===> wait a few minute

ومشكورين ..,

[الخياري]

thank you about thse information

[alraad3]

we cannot say >>>>>a few minute
the correct is >>>>>a few minutes
few or a few is always followed by a plural noun.

more examples on few and a few:

1- there are a few eggs in the fridge. i think i can make cake.
2- i was very sad because few people offered me help.

*** the same thing is with little and a little, but they are used before uncountable nouns.

e.g., There is little milk, so i cannot make the cake

Fortunately, i had had a little luck. I could escape.

VERY and TOO + adjective

1. The exam is very difficult, but Jim can complete it.

2. The exam is too difficult. Jim can't complete it.

Very difficult = it is difficult but possible for Jim to complete the exam.

Too difficult = It is impossible for Jim to complete the exam.

Remember that Too implies a negative result.

[صادق عبدالجبار]

too تستخدم مع الصفات التي التي تكون موثره على الشخص بشكل سلبي



it is too expensive
It is too long I hate him too much



لكن من الخطا ان تقول I love him too much والافضل ان تقول I love him verey much
اما very تستخدم مع الصفات بشكل عام والله اعلم

مناقشه جميله ومفيده عن مثل هذه الكلمات المتشابهه
وياليت تناقشون معنى السنه والعام هل معناهما واحد يعني year
او مختلفه في المعنى والمضمون كما في اللغة العربيه
