FEW - a small number of
Can I ask you a few questions?
we use few when we talk about plural nouns - I have a few books
- a few = some
- few = hardly any
- A few people came to the party (some people came to the party)
- Few people came to the party (hardly any people came to the party)
We can also use few (without a) in a negative sense.
- For example: Few friends came to the event.
A few - sounds a little formal so instead we use much/many
- I need little money - I don't need much money
- Few people came to the event - Not many people came to the event.
