🏎️ The 'Comparison' Trick

In this story, we see how to compare two things using fewer. This is a key step for A2 English.

The Rule: Use fewer when you can count the things (1, 2, 3...).

From the text: *"He has fewer points than Charles Leclerc."

How it works: Points are countable \rightarrow fewer points.

Try these patterns:

  • Less money (You can't count 'one money', 'two moneys') \rightarrow Wrong for points!
  • Fewer points \rightarrow Correct!

Quick Shift:

  • Fast \rightarrow Faster
  • Good \rightarrow Better

Example: "He wants his car to be faster" (Faster than before). Example: "To get a better result" (Better than the last race).
