Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'More/Fewer' Rule
In this story, Volkswagen is talking about amounts. When you want to say a number is smaller or bigger, use these two words:
1. MORE (➕)
- Sell more cars.
- Like these cars more.
2. FEWER (➖)
- Sells fewer cars.
- Make fewer types of cars.
💡 Simple Tip: Don't use "less" for cars or people. Because you can count cars (1, 2, 3...), we use fewer.
Quick Pattern:
fewer → count things (cars, factories, people)
more → any amount (money, cars, time)
