Help Chef Gordon finish his frantic kitchen report by selecting the correct words for each gap.
The soup was almost perfect; it just needed _________________________ salt. Unfortunately, Gordon had _________________________ time left before the harsh food critics arrived at his restaurant!

a little salt / little time

A little vs. Little: We use both with uncountable nouns (like salt and time).

  • A little means "some" and has a positive meaning (the soup just needed some salt).
  • Little means "almost none" and has a negative meaning (he didn't have enough time).
  • Few and a few are only used with countable nouns (like apples or minutes).
