• about or there is about
In the expression “there are about” the verb “have” is inserted in the sense of elapsed time, without knowing the exact period of days, months or years. It comes close to the meaning of “does” when it also refers to time. When in doubt, replace the verb “ha” with “does”. Watch:
We remember that the revolution took place there is about half a century. (about)
The term "about" or the prepositional phrase "about" mean: "about", "about something". Look:
we spoke about your answer to the teacher.
I did not say anything about from that.
• neither or so little
neither it means “not either” and is an adverb. It is often used in the expression “neither” to emphasize the sense of negation. Look:
I don't know how to write this word, neither can you.
I haven't checked my spelling is correct, nor the punctuation.
So little means “very little” and refers to measure (of time, of value). Watch:
We've been working so recently!
Good, the shoe I want to buy costs so little!
