What are the comparative forms of little?

The comparative forms of "little" depend on whether you're talking about quantity or size:

For quantity:

* Less (for uncountable nouns) - "I have less time today than yesterday."

* Fewer (for countable nouns) - "There are fewer people in the room now."

For size:

* Smaller - "The cat is smaller than the dog."

Important Note:

* "Less" is used with uncountable nouns (things you can't count individually, like time, water, sugar).

* "Fewer" is used with countable nouns (things you can count, like people, books, apples).

* "Smaller" is used for size comparisons.
