With Friends

1) A: Do you have a few minutes? I need a little help. I’m having a few problems with my laptop.

B: Sure. Now is good. I have a little time before I need to leave.

2) A: Ben isn’t happy at his new high school. He hasn’t met many kids, and he has few friends.

B: Give it a little time. In a few months, he’ll have more.

3) A: I have little patience with lazy co-workers. They frustrate me!

B: Me too. I work with a few people who do very little work but complain about how much they do!

4) A: I’ll have a little coffee with my dessert. Do you want some?

B: No, thanks. I drink very little coffee. It’s too bitter.

A: I love coffee, especially with a little sugar.

B: Whoa! You’re using more than a little sugar. Are you drinking coffee with sugar or sugar with coffee?

A: But it’s really good. Do you want to try a little? Maybe you’d drink more coffee this way.

B: Uh, I don’t think so! I have very little sugar in my diet. It makes me hyper.
