thanhdatnguyen thanhdatnguyen How can I distinguish between "a little bit", "a bit" and "a little". I tried to search on the internet but I still can't distinguish them I'd say that "a bit", as in "she's a bit daft" or "move it up a bit", is chiefly British. Other than that, they are all so imprecise that you can use them indiscriminately.

If you want to use the expressions yourself, from the grammatical viewpoint the safest of them is a little, because it can be followed by adjectives, adverbs and nouns.

It's a little difficult.
