very little is left of the forest I'd call little a noun (a small amount, quantity, or degree: They did little to make him comfortable ), making very an adjective. I don't know what you mean by movement (unless we consider little a pronoun which has moved from an adjective function).

  • very little is left of the forest I'd call little a noun (a small amount, quantity, or degree: They did little to make him comfortable ), making very an adjective.
