Hi Peng! Nice to see you.

A “handful” is an amount that fills your hand. For example, if you take a handful of sand, you are holding as much sand as your hand can hold.

“I got a handful of candy, but I still want more.”

“That girl took a handful of rocks and threw them at me!”

Hope this helps!

John
