Hint 1⃣
“Few” vs. “A Few” vs. “Little” vs. “A Little”
Few (negative) → Not enough (countable nouns) → I have few friends. (almost none)
A few (positive) → Some, but not many (countable) → I have a few friends. (enough)
Little (negative) → Not enough (uncountable nouns) → There is little water left. (almost none)
A little (positive) → Some, but not much (uncountable) → There is a little water left. (enough)
➡️ Tip: “A few” and “a little” mean a small amount, but still useful. “Few” and “little” mean not enough!
