10 items or less?



Fewer vs Less

Sign at the checkout of a supermarket: “Ten items or less”

This is INCORRECT.

You can count the items,

so you need to use the number word “fewer”.

These nouns are countable.

* "Ten items or fewer."

This is CORRECT.

If you can’t count the substance,

then you should use “less”.

These nouns are uncountable.

* "You should eat less meat."

This is CORRECT.

What Phil did on the weekend.

I was really lucky last weekend.
It rained on Saturday so jidai matsuri was
postponed to Sunday! Yay! I have never
been able to see it before and I always wanted to.

I love horses, this is a "Draught Horse".
He was huge! With fluffy socks.

This samurai was known as
"stupid hat" among his friends.

This tiny thing will never strike
fear into the hearts of my enemies."

Last Sunday I went to Kyoto Imperial Palace
to look for mushrooms with my girlfriend.
(She thinks they are cute.)




You can't take anything from Gosho,
so we could only look.
But it was good fun.

Bring vs Take



"When we go to the party on Saturday, let’s bring a bottle of wine."

* "When you come to the party, please bring a bottle of wine."

This is CORRECT.

When you are viewing the movement of something from the point of departure, use “take”:

* "When we go to the party, let’s take a bottle of wine."

This is CORRECT.
