🟢 The 'More/Less' Balance
In English, we use more and less to show if something increases or decreases. This is very useful for describing changes.
1. Increasing (+)
- More money (Higher amount)
- More players (Extra people)
- Stronger (More strength)
2. Decreasing (-)
- Less money (Lower amount)
Pattern Guide:
Stronger → More strength
More money → Higher pay
Less money → Lower pay
