Question

Explain where to use The little and A little
​

Answer 1

Little and a little follow the same pattern as few vs. a few. The only difference is that we use few and a few with countable nouns in the plural form, and we use little and a little with uncountable nouns: We had little time to prepare before we had to go.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Thus, the adjective little has a negative meaning. A little = Some though not much. 'A little' has a positive meaning. The little = not much, but all there is.
