C'est un sans faute pour Nobody, MystOGriff et OrientCat et merci pour votre participation

Pour information :
a little (+ singulier) = "un peu (de)"
a few (+ pluriel ) = "quelques ou "quelques-uns".

little (+singulier) = "peu (de)" = not much (= "pas beaucoup")
few (+ pluriel) = "peu (de) = not many (= "pas beaucoup")

A très bientôt
Medi
