FEW vs. LITTLE
Few is used with countable nouns (nouns which can be counted), such as coin(s), sweet(s), and animal(s).
Little is used with uncountable nouns (nouns that cannot be counted), such as milk, time, and money.

A few emphasises that something still remains.
We have a few minutes left in class. Do you have any questions?
(We still have time so we should use it.)
