What is correct?
some kilos or a few kilos?

The teacher I'm studying with tolf me that I have to use "some" with uncountable nouns, "a few" with countable.

I have found on a gramar book that I can use "some" with both plural countable and uncountable nouns.
When I have to use "some" and " a few" in real life? :-)

Answer

Hi Arti, your grammar book is correct. You can use some in both cases. A few should be for countable only. Hope this helps! :)

Answer

The grammar book is correct. you can use some with bot countable and uncountable nouns.
some kilos and a few kilos are both correct. an example for some kilos can be "I've put on some kilos" or you can also say "I've put on a few kilos", they are both correct.
hope this helps^^
