Using '(a) few', '(a) little', and 'lots of / a lot of'

Grammar Explanation:
 "A few" is used with countable nouns and means "some, but not many."
(e.g., I have a few books.)
 "Few" (without 'a') means "not many" or "almost none," often implying a
negative feeling. (e.g., I have few friends here, so I feel lonely.)
 "A little" is used with uncountable nouns and means "some, but not much."
(e.g., I have a little money.)
 "Little" (without 'a') means "not much" or "almost none," often implying a
negative feeling. (e.g., There is little hope of success.)
 "Lots of" or "a lot of" can be used with both countable and uncountable
nouns to mean "a large amount or number of something." (e.g., There are
lots of books in the library. / I have a lot of homework.)
