Fewer vs. Less Worksheets

About This Worksheet Collection

The Fewer vs. Less collection helps students master the rule distinguishing countable from uncountable nouns-an essential concept for clear, correct, and fluent English. Through sentence drills, editing tasks, real-world examples, and creative writing, learners develop the ability to choose between fewer (for things that can be counted) and less (for things measured in amount, not number). The worksheets progress from guided identification and fill-ins to advanced reflection on exceptions and nuanced real-world use.

Students not only learn grammatical correctness but also practice applying the rule across contexts-from supermarket shopping and cooking to journalism and comparative writing. Each activity blends vocabulary building with analytical reasoning, helping learners understand how quantifier choice shapes meaning and tone. The result is improved grammatical precision, reading comprehension, and writing clarity.
