Few and a few

Hello,

Can you please explain me the difference between few and a few? Although I knew the difference between them, but, I forget it again. So, if you can, please give some examples for them too. Thank you so much for your answers. I really appreciate.

In addition to the previous reply, use "(a) few" for countable and "a(little)" for uncountable nouns.

Keep it in your mind.

Hope that helps.
