He has or he is having?
Hello,
Which is more corretly said?
He wants to know English, but he is having (a) little time for it now.
he has (a) little time for it now.
Should I use the indefinite article before 'little'?
Thanks

I don't think there is no need of "a" (indefinite) before "little".

Next saturday, Edward_has________ a show in Birmingham.
Next saturday, Edward_____is having__a show in Birmingham.
Are both of them correct?
