[00:00:00]Do you know the difference between a few and a little? Now, most people get this wrong everyday. Let's understand in 60 seconds. We use a few with things you can count one by one. It's used with countable nouns such as friends, minutes, books, cars, apples. For example, I have a few friends coming overnight. Like your friends, you can count them. I need a few minutes to get ready. Now, minutes [music] again, you can count. Now, a little. A little is used with uncountable nouns, things you cannot count individually, like water, time, money, sugar. For example, can I have a little water, please? Now, water you cannot count. She has a little money saved up. Now again, money is [music] an uncountable noun. Now, can you try? What will you use in this sentence? Let me know in the comments.
