Less and fewer have the same basic meaning in a sentence, but they modify different noun forms. The general rule is to use "less" before
singular nouns, and use "fewer" before plural
nouns.
Compare the following examples: I have less money in my bank account now. There were fewer customers at the bank after lunch. She had less time to study yesterday because she had to drive a friend to the airport. Class will begin in a few minutes. |
