Question 1 of 10

There are ___ buses on Sundays, so check the timetable first.

Shaky on the rule?

Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Fewer vs less lesson 'Fewer' modifies plural countable nouns (fewer cars, fewer mistakes) and 'less' modifies uncountable nouns (less traffic, less time). The rule is one of the most policed in English, even though native speakers routinely break it in casual signs like '10 items or less' — for IELTS Writing and Speaking, keep the distinction strict.
