Question
1. Choose the correct form. There are ____ students who attended this live session than the last one.
- less
- fewer
Solution
The correct form is "fewer". So the sentence should be: "There are fewer students who attended this live session than the last one."
Here's why:
-
We use "fewer" for countable nouns. In this case, "students" is a countable noun because we can count the number of students.
-
We use "less" for uncountable nouns. For example, we would say "less water" or "less time" because we can't count "water" or "time".
So, since "students" is countable, we use "fewer".
