💰 The 'More/Less' Logic

Look at how the text describes changes. We use these words to show if something goes up or down:

  • Less (↓) \rightarrow pay less tax
  • More (↑) \rightarrow have more money
  • Higher (↑) \rightarrow pay is higher

Quick Tip for A2: When you talk about money, use less for things you pay and more for things you keep.
