What's new on IELTS with Fiona

'Fewer' - for countable nouns

'Less' - for uncountable nouns

However, these days people tend to use 'less' for both countable and uncountable.

Some people still consider this a mistake.

Many people use 'less' for both countable and uncountable nouns nowadays, but it looks good if you use 'fewer' correctly (see another real-life Task 1 summary example of 'fewer').

Write your own example so that it's memorable for you.

Examples

• There were fewer students in the live lesson this week (countable noun).
• People have less disposable cash these days due to the cost-of-living crisis.
