2. The acceptability of less with plural nouns
What do your intuitions tell you about these two sentences with less?
1. I expected more food and less people.
2. He is suffering from a form of leukemia that affects less than 70 children
a year.
3. Distinguishing determiners from other word classes
As we saw in A3, most determiners can be pronouns as well, when they are used
alone without a noun: I found some. But this is not all; there are several determiners
which can also be adverbs:
I feel all itchy. He is all-powerful. (= completely)
There are some 150 irregular verbs in English. (= approximately)
Is she that good? (= to that extent)
