💡 The Power of 'Less'

In the text, we see a pattern: Less + [Thing].

When we talk about money, help, or time (things we cannot count one by one), we use less, not fewer.

Examples from the text:

  • Less money \rightarrow Not as much money as before.
  • Less help \rightarrow Not as much support as before.
