Question 1 of 10

We had ___ rain last month, so the garden is very dry.

Shaky on the rule?

Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Few vs little lesson 'Few' and 'a few' modify plural countable nouns; 'little' and 'a little' modify uncountable nouns. Crucially, 'a few/a little' mean a small but positive amount, while bare 'few/little' mean almost none, with a negative feel — adding or dropping the article completely reverses the meaning: 'a few friends' (some) versus 'few friends' (hardly any).
