Is alittle one word?

No. Unlike "awhile/a while" which can take either form, "a little" is still used only as two separate words. Considering its similar usage to "awhile" it might one day be accepted as a single word, but not yet.


Is the word a while one or two words?

There are two different uses:The one-word form, awhile, is an adverb. It modifies a verb such as stay awhile, rest awhile, or sit awhile. It cannot be used as the object of a preposition, such as for.The two-word form is a while, where while is a noun, meaning an unspecified period of time. So you could similarly say stay for a while, or that you will be gone for a while. So the distinction is that you use awhile with verbs and "a while" in prepositional phrases.


When do you use a while vs a while?

Example: Andrea rested awhile; she put her feet up and dozed for a while. Awhile (one word) is an adverb, used as in 'Let us wait awhile'. A while (two words) is a noun phrase and is normally preceded by for as in 'I'm going to be away for a while'.


Do you say every once in a while or every once in awhile?

'Once in a while' (two words) is correct.
