Answer:

Few is quantifier determiner used with plural countable nouns. Without the article “a,” few emphasizes a small number of something. Adding the article removes the emphasis—a few means some. The same rule applies to little, which is used with singular uncountable nouns.

Answer:

Few means "not many (people or things)." It is used to say that there are not a lot of people or things. A few means "some (people or things)." It is used to say that there are a small number of people or things. Below are some examples showing how each is used.

1) I have a few [=some/a small number of] friends.

I have a few [=some/a small number of] friends.

2) A few people [=some people] arrived early

Few people [=not very many people] arrived early

3) A few of the students [=a small number of the students] forgot to bring their books to class.

Few (if any) of the students forgot to bring their books to class. [=not a lot of the students forgot; many of them remembered]
