Four fewer petals... I have a question! Are aches and pains "countable"? Would I say, "I have fewer aches and pains this year than last", or "I have less aches and pains this year than last"? Fewer sounds correct to me, but I wouldn't consider aches and pains to be countable.

Sarah, HELLO AGAIN !
First, Thank you for for everything.
Second, I have a question, please.
What's the difference in meaning between these two sentences : " I am sleeping badly these days " and "I have been sleeping badly recently . " ? What does each tense convey to the listener ? I really want to know and thank you in a advance.

Can it be a general rule to use “Fewer” where the thing you’re referring to is a plural and “Less” when not?
For example, fewer days or fewer hours as opposed to less time, fewer tonnes fewer kilograms as opposed to less weight or less material or less matter.

Does the plural infer that something can be counted? Do words which are the same for one amount as another infer cannot be readily counted?

"As the days passed, the flower had fewer of petals left ". Thank you.

my answer is fewer because the word after the blank is a countable noun.

Teacher please. If you put something in a particular place and you went to that place to pick up your thing and you didn't find it there . In this particular context, what is the difference if I said " where is it ! It must be there ", and if I said " it should be there " . Could you please tell me the accurate difference between 'it must be ' and 'it should be ' in this particular context. I am a teacher and I need to know the precise difference so that I tell me students about it . Thank you in advance.

The signs you see in a grocery store are grammatically incorrect. They say _10_ _items_ _or_ _less._ They should say _10_ _items_ _or_ *_fewer._*
