⚖️ More vs. Fewer

Comparing things is a big part of A2 English. Look at how the article compares two companies:

  • More (Higher amount) \rightarrow Toyota sells more cars.
  • Fewer (Lower amount) \rightarrow GM sells fewer cars.

Quick Tip: Use 'fewer' for things you can count (like cars, trucks, or jobs) instead of 'less'.
