Надежда,
Превод "There were few trees" некорректный и означает "Там было МАЛО деревьев". Несколько - A few.
Few без артикля говорит о недостаточном количесте, меньше, чем хотелось бы или меньше, чем ожидалось.

"few trees" is incorrect

Надежда Афонинаadded a comment 6 years ago

Поправку поняла. Спасибо. Ааааа....для чего "there" ещё и в конце предложения?

Alexander Аkimovadded a comment 6 years ago

Потому что there are в начале - это просто факт существования чего-то, а there в конце - это указание на конкретное место.

У Екатерины Богун получилось: «На белом свете мало деревьев».
