There will be (more / less / fewer) cars.
There will be (more / less / fewer) pollution.
There will be (more / less / fewer) trees.
fewer less more
fewer 更少的, 修饰可数名词
less 更少的, 修饰不可数名词
more 更多的, 可以修饰可数和不可数名词
意思 用法 比较级 最高级
few 一些(否定) 修饰可数名词 fewer fewest
little 一些(否定) 修饰不可数名词 less least
many 许多 修饰可数名词 more most
much 许多 修饰不可数名词 more most

1. fewer是few的比较级,只能修饰可数名词的复数.
2. less是little的比较级,只能修饰不可数名词的复数.
