Mar 26, 2014 7:57 AM20Answers · 21They mean the same thing but are used in different ways. For example: When telling a story you would say "A few days later" to indicate that time had moved on. If someone is explaining a recipe or procedure for making something they might say: "Put the glass in the bucket. After a few days, take it out and it will be clean" In this context it means you should leave the item or project for a few days and then go back to it.
