Introduction

What is a 'Fewer and less'?

Definition: According to prescriptive grammar, "fewer" should be used with nouns for countable objects and concepts. According to this rule, "less" should be used only with a grammatically singular noun in other words Generally, fewer is used when the number of things is counted ("fewer problems") whereas less is used when the number is measured or uncountable ("less trouble" or "less time").

First of all look at the example given below in sheet 1
For a better understanding of this concept

Use ' fewer ' for objects that can be counted 3 books
Use ' less ' With nouns that are not countable, Water.

So all we have to read sentence & clearly observe to fill the blank choose either fewer or lesser and complete sentences to make complete sense.

Eg. Paul has ________ cards than Joel.

Here, a blank space to fill & complete the sentence.

In this particular worksheet, the children are asked to fill the blank choose either fewer or less, and complete sentences to make complete sense.
