Less or Fewer?

[eirbag]

"Fewer"
"What?"
"Nothing"

"You're not wrong as a person, as a human being... I'm sure you're lovely" lol

Amazing!...just I was thinking about these words "less" and " fewer"; I'm none native English speaker, I've been studying English by myself during hardly one year I'm now here. Your videos are learned and studied every night. I like your accent, method and board hahaha:)... The kids are said to eat fewer candies now than ten years ago.... I really don't know but certainly, I drink less water because I drink much more lemonade instead.... How amazing! I like to speak, write and read in English a lot... Bye

I learned this watching GoT and had to see if it was a legit rule.

100% of the people watching this video already know the difference, but are fed up with those who don’t.

Thanks Alex for making this video. U had uploaded this video 8 years ago and still it helps. Thank you.

If you can count something, use fewer, otherwise use less. Less water, fewer drops of water. Less salt, fewer grains of salt.

Short, simple and very important grammar lesson thanks Alex!!!!

It's all very well and good but it depends on what the variable is. You could say for example, my height is less than 2 metres. The less refers to the height, which is a continuous variable and not to the countable noun (2) metres. Similary you could say she has less than $20 dollars in her pocket OR you can say she has fewer than $20 dollars in her pocket. Less refers to the value of the money (a continuous variable) and fewer refers to an integer variable (ie the number of dollar bills/coins). Hope this helps.

Hi Alex (AlexESLvid), I appreciate very much your lessons and about EngVid in general. I suggest a lesson related to NON and NONE. Thank you very much :)

I'm italian and to me, all of these attetions in the english culture "if you say Less all the time you're wrong, I mean  grammatically, not as a person, i'm sure you're lovely" are kinda weird

They should have taught us this at school instead of making us write essays about books that we had no interest in. Thanks for posting.
