In English few is used to express a small indeterminate quantity (countable or uncountable) of a noun.
The indefinite quantity adjective will come along with the same gender (masculine/feminine) and form (singular/plural) as the noun. Here it comes the table first:
|
FEW |
MASCULINO |
FEMENINO |

SINGULAR |
POCO |
POCA |
|
PLURAL |
POCOS |
POCAS |

Using the adjective -Few-
Now, we can already start using the indefinite small quantity adjectives in a proper sentence:
¿QUÉ HAY EN BARCELONA?
WHAT IS THERE IN BARCELONA?
EN BARCELONA HAY POCOS AEROPUERTOS
IN BARCELONA THERE ARE FEW AIRPORTS
◊ Note:
- POCOS is a plural masculine adjective as AEROPUERTOS is a plural/masculine noun.
Or:
¿QUÉ HAY EN BARCELONA?
WHAT IS THERE IN BARCELONA?
EN BARCELONA HAY POCAS ESCUELAS
IN BARCELONA THERE ARE FEW SCHOOLS
◊ Note:
- POCAS is a plural/feminine adjective as ESCUELAS is a plural/feminine noun.
