Hi Kiki,


'Fewer' is an adjective used to refer to people or items that can be counted.
Example: Because fewer cars showed up for the show, we required fewer categories.
 'Less' is used to refer to amounts that cannot be counted.
 Example: The small dogs required less space and less food than the large dog

 

 Cheers
