1.It needs a comma after 'two' but there's quite a bit left out.
2.He saved quite a bit money.
3.He knew quite a bit about it.

5.He saved quite a little money.
6.He knew quite a little about it. |
First, are the above examples correct?
Next, what is the difference among 'quite a bit', 'quite a little', and 'quite a few'?
Thanks. |

Quite a bit "of" something means a lot, much, a great deal. It's uncountable.
He's got quite a bit of confusion at his office.
Quite a few also means a lot, many, a great deal. It's for countable nouns.
He's got quite a few problems at his office.
Quite a little doesn't sound correct to me.
