We use "well" with "remember" in statements.
Do you remember that little hotel we used to stay at on Corsica?
Ah, I remember it well.
Do you remember the first car I bought?
I don't remember it well - I vaguely recall that it was green.
We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns:
Uncountable Nouns
- I've got a little money.
- I haven't got much rice.
Few and little
We use a few with plural, countable nouns. For example, "A few people came to the party."
We use a little with uncountable nouns. For example, "There's a little coffee left, if you would like some."
We can also use few and little (without "a") to mean very few or very little (i.e. much less in quantity).
For example, "There's little point in calling" (= there's not much point calling).
"There were few people at the concert."
Quantifiers in English: few, little, lots of
Q: Why has little been used with countable noun? Does this indicate that dropping the indefinite article (a) means little can work perfectly with countable noun such as hotel?
