Learn English: LESS, FEWER, FEW, LITTLE, A FEW, A LITTLE, MORE

Should it be fewer, or less? And do you say a few or a little? Even native English speakers make mistakes with this issue. In this English grammar lesson I’ll show how the answer has a lot to do with countable and uncountable nouns. In some cases it also depends on the meaning you want to convey. I’ll give example sentences to illustrate how to use the different options, and after watching this video there’s more, because you can test out your knowledge in the quiz.

Indeed, Gill was really a British lady/dame and a very good teacher. It is a pleasure for me to listen to all her clever and understandable explanations in front of the whiteboard. I am so sorry that she passed by.But modern technique makes it possible to learn still from her.

Well. If you don’t want to think whether you deal with countable or uncountable noun, you can use ‘fewer’ with both. Whether a noun countable or uncountable often don’t coincide in Russian and in English.
