"More", "Fewer", "Less"

" More "

- We will finish our study in one year.
- Budi Will come in two months.

Is the above sentence can we change to: "We will finish our study in one year more," and "in two months more, Budi Will come"?

Well ..., the placement of "more" after the noun, for example: one more year, two months more, ten minutes more, and so rarely used. In general and preferably, more placed before the noun, for example: one more year, two more months, ten more minutes, more patience, and so on. So the above sentence should be (more dominant) is written:

We will finish our study in one more year.
Budi Will come in two more months.
I give you ten more minutes to finish your work = I give you ten minutes more to finish your work = I give you another ten minutes to finish your work.
Classic can not be learned fast. The only thing We all need is more patience.


" Fewer & Less "



Use fewer with objects that can be counted one-by-one.

Use less with qualities or quantities that cannot be individually counted.

Incorrect: There were less days below freezing last winter.
Correct: There were fewer days below freezing last winter.
(Days can be counted.)
Correct: I drank less water than she did.
(Water cannot be counted individually here.)

When referring to time or money, less is normally used even with numbers. Specific units of time or money use fewer only in cases where individual items are referred to.

Examples: I have less than an hour to do this work. I have less time to do this work.
I have less money than I need.
I have less than twenty dollars.
He worked fewer hours than I did.

The only occasion in which you might say, "I have fewer than twenty dollars," would be when you were talking about specific dollar bills or coins, such as "I have fewer than twenty silver dollars in my collection."
