ItsTheBachelor:


What's the difference?

'Few' emphasises on the insufficiency of a number, figure, quantity etc while 'a few' is almost the exact opposite ie it emphasises on the sufficiency of the number, figure etc. Same applies to 'little' and 'a little'.
Eg
I have few books, so I can't lend u some. (Meaning insufficient)

I have a few books, so I can lend u some. (Meaning sufficient)

One is almost the opposite of the other.

E.g.-- stands for “Exempli Gratia”, which means “Example given” or “for example”. Here's and example: Jane loves to eat different types of fruit e.g. orange, apple and banana.


i.e.-- stands for “id est”, a Latin phrase meaning “that is..” or “This is to say”. I.e. is used to restate an idea more clearly. Example: It happened in August i.e. two months ago.

Etc.-- In short for “et cetera”, which means “and other things”. It is used to mention the continuation of a specific list. Example: Tennis, baseball, football, etc.
