πŸ’‘ The "More vs. Fewer" Secret

In English, we change the word based on what we can count. This is the fastest way to sound like an A2 speaker.

1. For things we can count (People, Crimes, Cities):

  • More (higher number) β†’\rightarrow More crimes, more people.
  • Fewer (lower number) β†’\rightarrow Fewer crimes, fewer cities.

2. Look at the text:

  • "Delhi has many crimes" (High number)
  • "Haryana has fewer crimes" (Low number)

⚠️ Simple Rule: Don't say "less crimes." Use fewer for things you can count 1, 2, 3... and less for things you cannot count (like water, time, or money).
