What is the difference between few and a few

Few

The word "few" emphasis on the lack of something. For example

 There are few chocolates left in the jar. 

The above sentence tells us that we should be careful and not to eat chocolates too quickly because they are almost finished.


A Few

"A few" emphasis that something still remains. For example

We have a few minutes left in the class. Do you have any questions? 

The above sentence tell that we still have some time left so we can use it wisely.
