The Football Game

Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two
favourite teams, America de cali and Atletico Nacional. It was the second week of the
season and the day was much colder than the week before. We arrived at the stadium
at 5:30 pm, which is a little earlier than usual. We were excited because I love America
de Cali and he loves the Atletico Nacional. The seats were good, but I wanted
something closer to the field. However, we sat and enjoyed the game. Well, we
enjoyed it until we started arguing. My brother and I both think our team is better
than the other team. He always says to me that Nacional are faster, stronger, and
smarter than America. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. America played a lot
better than Nacional. They played better. They won by 3 goals.
One thing I didn’t like was that the food and drinks were much more expensive than other places, and tasted much
worse. I was surprised that a hot dog cost $4, which is more expensive than the $2 I pay outside the stadium. Also, the hot dog
was smaller than normal hot dogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, but I planned to get something tastier after the game.

Use of less and fewer

Fewer is used for countable objects, that is anything that can be counted one by one.
For example:
• There was less rain today than yesterday.
• There were fewer stray cats last year.

Less is used for uncountable concepts such as time and money, even though they may involve numbers. In
these cases we only use fewer when we refer to a specific unit.
For example:
• I had less free time to complete my homework than Jim.
• The small elephant costs less than the big one.
• Sally spent fewer hours on the computer after she broke the keyboard.
• We have fewer pound coins than pennies
