In this podcast we’ll practice with “few” and “a few”.
When should you use this word? Here are a few examples (2 or 3 examples equals ‘a few’).
For example, if I have 40 friends and three of them speak Russian, it is correct to say “A few of my friends speak Russian.”
Another example: I want to buy lunch but I only have three dollars. So I might say, “I only have a few dollars. Can I pay with a credit card?”
Let’s begin.
1. A few of my friends speak French.
2. She has a few dollars.
3. Few people in Paris speak Basque.
4. Can you lend me a few Euros?
5. Every year, fewer students study English literature.
6. I read the book Krakatoa by Simon Winchester a few months ago.
7. She got a new job a few weeks ago.
8. Doing the dishes will only take a few minutes.
9. I have many questions but few answers.
10. The missing child was found a few kilometers from her home. Fortunately she was okay.
11. Our team scored fewer goals than our opponents.
12. He took a few steps and then started to run.
13. There were few survivors of the sinking of the Titanic.
14. I can help you for a few minutes. Then I have to leave for work.
15. She owns a few pairs of shoes but none of them are yellow.
