Recently i have tought this from a reputed English teacher..
please correct me if i am wrong..

1. I have few friends - i dunt have a lot..but may be 8 or 10 in total

2. I have a few friends - i have very very few..say 1 or 2..

You have got it the wrong way around


I have few friends - I don't have that many friends. Only a very small number

I have a few friends - I have a considerable number


If you say - "I have few friends who would be willing to help me" - It means that not many friends would like to help you - You are talking in a negative tone of your friends

If you say - "I have a few friends who would be willing to help me" - It means that some of your friends would like to help you - You are happy that you have some friends who would help you.


When you say a few - it means that it is not zero - you have some. On the contrary when you just say few - it means that the amount is lower than expected and close to zero.

Hope this helps.

As i have understood..there is no such a thing called "Spoken English"..
There is only one..that is English..we have to use the correct English sentence patterns/grammar in writing as well as in speaking..

yeah If you want to defeat the enemay you gotta think like the enemay !

It should be "I need to go for lunch" (no the) almost all the time

But if you are referring to a special lunch (maybe which someone has organized) of which you and the other person both know about you can say I need to go to the lunch.

1. Infact i am refereing to the lunch which i have prepared..so can i use 'THE'?
2. Correct me if i am wrong..if i say 'i need to go for the lunch'..means that i will be an ingredient of that lunch..
By googling i found this also...

Nice Work Bro

To speak English you might have a knowledge about Tenses. so these are the tenses

English Grammar - The tenses

One sentence is put into different tenses. You can see how the meaning changes.

The words in green are signal words. They tell you which tense you have to use.

Negations of the sentences

Questions

It's really worth frnd..Thank a lot for helping.
