    Dear Annemarie I must say this. It is pure joy for me listening your lessons. This one is no excetion either. Every sentence you say, every word you use it's carefully chosen and I truly enjoy hearing them. Even when you are giving us explanation of grammar parts as this one you always give that special touch, trying and succeeding in saying what you want so clearly and beautifuly that it is music to my ears..( as we in Serbia would say😊💖). Thank you for all your effort and enthusiasm.💖

    I learn from every lesson from you. This lesson clears the grammer areas that were vague to me. It will definitely help me make fewer mistakes. It will take five minites less to take this route than the other. She weighted less than 5 pounds from last month since she took the new diet regimen. Buying this item online will cost thirty dollars less than buying from store.

    I have been living in the UK for less that a year.
    It is less traffic on our route at before 8am.
    The dish was excellent as it was less sweet.
    The more I practice, fewer will be the mistakes I make.

    Dear Anne Marie, thank you for such helpful lesson. Actually I was always between "less" and "fewer", wondering which one to use but now it looks much clearer to me. I would say that after this lesson my doubts are fewer and just related to how to be able to deal with the exceptions you mentioned. Thank you so much. Francesco

    Hey! Teacher❤️..thankyou so much for this wonderful session ..
    What I concluded from the session is .. we can use both "few" and "less" with the noun "people" 🤔depending upon the context.
    Correct me if I am wrong

    1.There were fewer tourists this month.
    2. Don't you think there are fewer cars than usual?
    3. What you need to practice is making fewer mistakes.
    4. Let's go to a place with less light.
    5. Don't forget to put less salt next time
    6. I've been feeling less stress these days

    What about the sign at grocery store checkout line: "10 items or less"? Should it be "10 items or fewer"? or is this one of the exceptions? Thank you!

    Because of the Covid-19, there are fewer tourists and fewer cars on the road,
    Practice is very importente to make fewer mistakes in any lenguage.
    At home we are trying to spend less light to save more money ( i don't know if you use the verb to spend in this case in English ) we use it in Portuguese
    My mom is using less salt when she cooks rice
    We need to get less stressed and be more calm

    • @Speakconfidentenglish
      @Speakconfidentenglish  4 года назад +1

      Love these examples, Marcos! Thanks for sharing.
      And good question about which verb we use with 'light.' In English, the verb 'use' is best. So you could say, "At home we're trying to use less light..."

    Normally it is said as countable n uncountable. Which is more proper

    • @Speakconfidentenglish
      @Speakconfidentenglish  Год назад

      Hi there. Thank you for the question. Could you clarify the question? Are you asking about whether countable is more proper compared to another word? Could you tell me what it is?

    Is this saying grammatically incorrect ? "Less talk, less mistake".

    • @Speakconfidentenglish
      @Speakconfidentenglish  4 года назад

      Thanks for the question. Based on the lesson, what do you think would be a better word choice with 'mistakes'?
