Many – Much
Although these two quantifiers sound similar, function in a similar manner and mean similar

nouns. Use many with plural nouns. Here’s an example.

A few represents a positive quantity, but it can only be used with countable nouns. The word
few represents a negative quantity or shortage. Here’s an example.

Little – A little
Like few and a few, the quantifiers little and a little represent negative and positive
quantities. Always use a little with non-countable nouns. The word little expresses a
diminutive size or a negative quantity. Here are a few examples.
