Hi, native speakers of English!
Please consider the following:
A: Is there any soup?
B: Yes, there's a bit, but it's cold.
I think "a bit" is wrong here. I would say "Yes, there's a little..." or "Yes, there's a little bit...". However, I'm not sure at all...:
1) ... if "a bit" is actually correct in this context, or
2) ... why "a bit" is incorrect if I am right in thinking so.
Can you give me a hand?
Thank you in advance.
