📉 Comparing Numbers
In the text, we see how to describe more and less using percentages. This is very useful for A2 learners talking about facts.
The Pattern:
- High number High (e.g., 66%)
- Low number Low (e.g., 24%)
- Smaller number Fewer (e.g., 36% 30%)
Simple Examples:
- "Bill Clinton had a high score." (He was popular)
- "Richard Nixon had a low score." (He was not popular)
- "Fewer people like the president now." (The number went down)
Quick Tip: Use 'fewer' when you can count the people. Use 'less' for things you cannot count (like water or time).
