few X little

[Anonymous]

I understand the difference among few / a few X little / a little.

But when it comes to plural uncountable words such as clothes?

- Do I say:

a) I have only a few clothes.

b) I have only a few pieces/articles of clothing. ?

Thanks.

You can't say I have only a few clothes, but you can say I have only a few articles of clothing. You can say you have some clothes or that you don't have much to wear. You can also say you don't have much clothing.

There's also, "I've a few things (meaning, clothes)."

& I've few things = not very many. ;-(

I've a few too many things.
