Answer:

Ending a sentence with a preposition is believed by a lot of people to be incorrect.

Explanation:

Preposition is a word which is used to create a relationship between other words in a sentence. Ending a sentence with preposition according to John Dryden a dramatist in 1672 said that 'since one cannot end a sentence with preposition in Latin, one should not do it in English either."

Ending a sentence with preposition such as 'at, or, with, of, is prohibited in English language. Ending a sentence with a preposition especially in research paper or business proposal, sounds less formal. Therefore it is a rule not to end a sentence with preposition.

Answer:

1. There were Fewer outdoor sport fans in the past.

2. I drank Less water than she did at the last basketball competition.

3. I have Less than an hour to do this exercise.

4. We have Less time to go in for sports these days.

5. Fewer than thirty children each year participate in the chess tournament.

6. This athlete does Fewer workout on weekdays. He has a full time job at the Sports

Committee

Explanation:

Fewer is used for things that can be counted such as, kids, chairs, balloons, etc...

Less is used for singular mass nouns

Here’s a tip: A good way to test that a noun is truly uncountable is to try making a plural out of it.

Example: I told Cookie Monster to drink fewer/less milks or he would get sick?

Because Milk is a liquid, we can't count it. Making 'less' the proper word choice

Example: I told Cookie Monster to drink less milk or he would get sick?

I hope this helped!
