Vocabulary Learning
🎾 The 'More vs. Less' Logic
In this story, we see how to describe amounts. This is a key step for A2 learners to compare things.
1. Counting People (Plural) When we talk about people or dogs, we use More and Fewer.
- More people High number
- Fewer people Low number
2. Counting Money/Time/Abstracts (Uncountable) While the text uses "less than last year," remember that Less is usually for things you cannot count one-by-one (like water, time, or air).
Quick Reference Table:
| Direction | For People/Things (Countable) | For General Amount (Uncountable) |
|---|---|---|
| More | More | |
| Fewer | Less |
Real Example from Text: "The men's final had 1.3 million viewers. This is less than last year." (Note: Here, the author refers to the overall 'number/amount' of viewership as a single concept).
